We need to know what the best buy is for purchasing t-shirts at three different stores.

Fred Meyer: 6 shirts for $25.48 Target: $17.99 for 4 shirts Amazon: 5 shirts for $21.09

A. What is the price per shirt at Fred Meyer?

B. What is the price per shirt at Target?

C. What is the price per shirt at Amazon?

D. Which store has the best buy?

Answer 1

C is the correct answer

Answer 2

Store C, because the ratio of the number to the cost is 1:6 in store C and 1:7 in store D.

Example:

in store C, 2 shirts divided by $12 = $6 per shirt.

In store D, 3 shirts divided by $21 = $7.

Making the ratios 1:6 (1 shirt: 6 dollars) and 1:7 (1 shirt: 7 dollars)
