Question

The hardware store sells 4th of July sparklers for 19 cents each. The fireworks stand charges 85 cents for four. Where would you purchase sparklers?

Answer 1

Let's find the unit rates and compare. The hardware store's one is already given, so we only need to find the one for the stand.

85/4 = 0.2125

0.2125 > 0.19

You would want to buy at the store. Hope this helps!
