Question

9. You can buy 6 bracelets at Toy Barn for $5.40. You can buy 11 of the same

bracelets at the Dollar Deals for $10.50. (a)How much does it cost per bracelet at
each store? (b)Which store has the better buy?

Answer 1

Solutions below.

Explanation:

a) To solve this question, we can use the formula.

Average Cost per Bracelet = Total Price ÷ Number of Bracelets.

Toy Barn

Average Cost = $5.40 ÷ 6 = $0.90 per bracelet

Dollar Deals

Average Cost = $10.50 ÷ 11 = $0.95 per bracelet (rounded off to 2 decimal places)

b) The better deal comes with a lower price per bracelet, in this case, Toy Barn has a better deal.
