Question

Dan paid $12.67 for a 6.08-kg bag of dog food. A few weeks later, he paid $12.95 for a 6.35-kg bag at a different store. Find the unit price for each bag. Then state which bag is the better buy based on the unit price. Round your answers to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

Answer:

Comparing both solution we found that Second  transaction made by Dan is better deal. because its unit price is lesser than the First transaction unit price made by him. ($\ 2.039 <\ 2.083$).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Dan paid $12.67 for a 6.08 kg bag of Dog food.

Again He paid $12.95 for a 6.35 kg bag of Dog food.

From the question,

                            Unit Price of each bag per kg = $\frac{12.67}{6.08}$

                                                                               = $\ 2.083$.

Few weeks later,

 He paid $12.95 for a 6.35 kg of Dog food.

So,

                       New unit price of each bag per kg = $\frac{12.95}{6.35}$

                                                                                 = $\ 2.039$

Here,

Comparing both solution we found that Second  transaction made by Dan is better deal. because its unit price is lesser than the First transaction unit price made by him. ($\ 2.039 <\ 2.083$).
