Question

You can get 1 cookie for 42 cents or 8 cookies for $3.44. Which is the better deal? How do you know?

Answer 1

The better deal is the cookie for 42 cents.
When you divide $3.44 by 8 you get 0.43. So that means for each of the eight cookies ,it’s 43 cents in that box. But when you do 42 cents times eight,(0.42 x 8 = 3.36). So if you got eight cookies with the (1 cookie for 42 cents ) it would be the better deal… even though your only saving only 8 cents or 0.08.


I hope this helps !!! Have an amazing day!! :)

Answer 2

The better deal is 1 cookie for 42 cents

Explanation:

We need to find the price of 1 cookie when the cookies are 8 for 3.44

Divide the total price by the number of cookies

3.44/8

.43

We can get 1 cookie for 42 cents or 1 cookie for 43 cents

The better deal is 1 cookie for 42 cents because it is less money.
