Question

Paul is shopping for laundry detergent. At the grocery store, the liquid detergent is pricedat $14.99 for 64 loads of laundry and the same brand of powder detergent is priced at$15.99 for 80 loads. Which is the better buy, the liquid or the powder detergent?

Answer 1

Answer:

15.99 is better

Step-by-step explanation:

because when working with dividing decimals we need to make it a whole number so we would move it over to the right till it is a whole number (which is two spaces) but first we need to put our decimal in our quotient so two spots. and 1499 divided by 64 equals 23.421875 and 1599 divided by 80 equals 19.9875 so the 15.99 dollar one is a better deal.
