    The chart showing the quantities and prices is;

    Best Deal 1

    Quantity of Flour Price

    3 pounds $5.25

    5 pounds $9.75

    7 pounds $12.60

    10 pounds $14.20

    12 pounds $18.24

    Answer:

    difference between last weeks best deal = $0.3

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let's calculate the unit price for each of the quantities in the chart.

    For quantity of 3 pounds;

    We have; unit price = 5.25/3 = $1.75

    For 5 pounds;. Unit price = 9.75/5 = $1.95

    For 7 pounds; unit price = 12.6/7 = $1.8

    For 10 pounds; unit price = 14.2/10 = $1.42

    For 12 pounds; unit price = 18.24/14 = $1.3

    Thus, last weeks best deal is the lowest = $1.3

    Thus; difference between last weeks best deal is given as;

    = this weeks best deal - last weeks best deal

    This gives;

    $1.6 - $1.3 = $0.3
