IMO
NO
YES
NO
1. The average price per pound of the mints including tax and delivery is $10.29.
We just divide the final bill by 6 since that includes the (sum of 6 pounds)+(tax)+(delivery)
Hence,
65.8 / 6 = 10.96 which is not 10.29
2. Sugar-free chocolates cost about 80% more, on average, than regular varieties of chocolate.
Here we average price of regular varieties (dark, milk and white)
We get (3.58+3.24+2.94)/3 = 3.25
Now increase 3.25 by 80% to see if it costs similar to Sugar free (which is 5.85)
Hence, 3.25*1.8 = 5.85 (Hence YES)
3. The Candy Man charged $0.75 per pound for delivery services.
Delivery was 10$ for 6 pounds hence it was more than 1$ for a pound and NOT 0.75$.
Hence NO
