Question

P.1.3b Four candy stores are competing with each other. Which store offers the best buy for candy? A.) Sweet Store: 12 pack for $3.00 B.) Delicious Treats: 22 pack for $4.62 C.) Sugar Factory: 18 pack for $5.40 D.) Chocolate Shop: 36 pack for $7.20

Answer 1

In order to determine which store offers the best buy for candy, we would determine the cost per pack of candy at each store.

For sweet store,

12 packs cost $3

Thus,

1 pack would cost 3/12 = $0.25

For Delicious Treats,

22 packs cost $4.62

Thus,

1 pack would cost 4.62/22 = $0.21

For Sugar Factory,

18 packs cost $5.4

Thus,

1 pack would cost 5.4/18 = $0.3

For Chocolate Shop,

36 packs cost $7.20

Thus,

1 pack would cost 7.20/36 = $0.2
