Question

Four candy stores are competing with each other. Which
store offers the best buy for candy?
A.) Sweet Store: 12 pack for $3.00
B.) Delicious Treats: 22 pack for $4.62
C.) Sugar Factory: 18 pack for $5.40
D.) Chocolate Shop: 36 pack for $7.20

Answer 1

Answer: The Chocolate shop

Step-by-step explanation:

We should get the cost per one pack for each store.

For the Sweet Store we divide 3.00 by twelve for the cost of one which is:

3 divided by 12 = 0.25

One pack at a sweet store is $0.25

Now do the same for the other stores:

4.67 divided by 22 = 0.21 (Rounded to 2 decimal points)

5.40 divided by 18 = 0.3

7.20 divided by 36 = 0.2

Sweet Store: one pack is $0.25

Delicious Treats: one pack is $0.21

Sugar Factory: one pack is $0.30

Chocolate Shop: one pack is $0.20

Therefore the Chocolate shop is giving you the best deal since each pack is cheaper.
