The cost for one apple in quick market is $0.36

Stop and Save:

Divide the total cost with the amount of apples:

1.10/5 = 0.22

The cost for one apple in Stop and Save is $0.22

Answer 2

Explanation:
In order to find out which place is the better buy, you have to find out how much each apple costs.

To find this out you can simply divide 1.08 by 3 to find out how much each apple costs, assuming each apple costs the same amount.
$1.08 \div 3 = 0.36$
So, each apple at the Quick Market costs 36 cents.

Now you have to find out the costs of the apples at Stop and Save, using the same steps as before.
$1.10 + \div 5 = 0.22$
Now you just compare the two, and see which one costs less. In this case, apples at Stop and Save is the better buy.
