Question

target has 2 notebooks for 2.40 . staples has 6 notebooks for 4.80. which one has a better deal?

Answer 1

If target has 2 notebooks for 2.40 then the rate per notebook

= 2.40/2

= 1.20

If staples has 6 notebooks for 4.80 then the rate per notebook

= 4.80/6

= 0.80

From the computation above, staples has a better deal as staples paid less per notebook.
