Question

You can buy 3 apples at the Quick Market for $1.17. You can buy 5 of the same apples at Stop and Save for $2.55. Which place is the better buy?

Answer 1

Answer:Quick market is better place to buy apples.

Explanation:

At market

Cost of three apples : $1.17

Cost one apples :
`(\$1.17)/(3)=\$0.39`

At another Stop and Save:

Cost of five apples : $1.17

Cost one apples :
`(\$2.55)/(5)=\$0.51`

Then ,Cost of three apples at Stop and Save :
`\$0.51* 3=\$1.53`

Since, the $1.17<$1.53 that is cost of three apples are less than that of the cost of three apples at Stop and Save.

Hence,Quick market is better place to buy apples.
