An appliance store sells lamps at $95.00 for two. A department store sells similar lamps at five for $250.00. Which store sells at a better rate? How much better?

Answer 1

Department store sells 5 for $250

So price of 1 will be = $250/5 = $ 50

So as a buyer we are in profit when buy from appliance store because we are at a profit of $2.5 per lamp.
