Answer 1

`\huge{ \boxed{ \tt{Solution:-}}}`

Given :

• Cost of 5 bags of apples =$16.00
• Cost of 4 bags of apples = $12.72

To Find :

• Which is better deal ?

Now we solving it :

At the market :

`\sf{ \because{Cost \: of \: 5 \: bags \: of \: apples = 16.00}} \\ \\ \sf{ \therefore {Cost \: of \: 1\: bag \: of \: apples = (16.00)/(5) = 3.20}}`

∴ Cost of 1 bag of apples = $3.20

`\rule {77}{1}`

At the orchard :

`\sf{ \because{Cost \: of \: 4 \: bags \: of \: apples = 12.72}} \\ \\ \sf{ \therefore {Cost \: of \: 1\: bag \: of \: apples = (12.72)/(4) = 3.}}`

∴ Cost of 1 bag of apples = $3.18

`\rule {77}{1}`

`\bf {\therefore{The\:better\:deal\:is\:at\: the\: market.}}`

`\rule {307}{2}`
