Answer 2

Deal of 4 boxes for $36 is the better choice

Explanation:

Boxes of fruit snack are on sale at the grocery store.

The price of 3 boxes are = $5.00

and the price of 4 boxes are = $6.00

A family needs to purchase 24 boxes.

If they purchase 8 sets of 3 boxes they have to pay

set of 3 boxes × 8 = 24 boxes = 8 sets × $5 = $40.00

If they purchase 6 sets of 4 boxes they have to pay

set of 4 boxes × 6 = 24 boxes = 6 sets × $6 = $36.00

Therefore, the deal of 4 boxes is the better choice.
