Question

At the store Brand A potato chips were $18.75 for 5 bags. Brand B potato chipswere $26.39 for 7 bags. Which brand has the cheaper price?

Answer 1

To determine which brand is cheaper we compute the price of 1 bag.

Brand A:

$\cos tof1\text{bag}=\frac{18.75}{5}=3.75.$

Brand B:

$\text{cost of 1 bag=}\frac{26.39}{7}=3.77.$

Therefore, Brand A is cheaper.
