Question

Bella is going back to school shopping and her favorite store is having a sale. She sees there are 4 packages of 15 tops for $18 and 5 packages of 10 tops for $16 which is the better deal? How do you know

Answer 1

The 4 packages of 15 tops for $18 is a better deal

Explanation:

We can see which set of tops have the lowest unit price.

4 packages of 15 tops for $18:

4*15=60

There is a total of 60 tops for $18, which means each top costs 18/60 dollars, or $0.30.

5 packages of 10 tops for $16

5*10=50

There is a total of 50 tops for $16, which means that each top costs 16/50 dollars, or $0.32.

0.32>0.3

The 4 packages of 15 tops for $18 is a better deal :)

Have a great day
