Question

Decide which of the two given prices is the better deal and explain why.

You can buy shampoo in a 5-ounce bottle for $4.89 or in a 14-ounce bottle for $10.69.

Please help!

Answer 1

The better deal is the 5-ounce bottle for $4.89 because two of the 5-ounce bottles is equal to $9.78. So you are paying more if you get the 10-ounce bottle, instead of two 5-ounce bottles.
