Question

At the market you can buy 6 bags of apples for $29.76. At the orchard you can get 2 bagsof apples for $10.14. Which is the better deal?

Answer 1

To determine which is the better deal we divide the cost by the amount of bags.

Market:

In the market we have:

$\frac{29.76}{6}=4.96$

hence each bag cost $4.96.

Ochad:

In the orchad we have:

$\frac{10.14}{2}=5.07$

Hence each bag cost $5.07

Therefore the better deal is in the market.
