Question

Friendly Food Store has Cocoa Blast cereal on

sale this week at a price of $8.25 for five boxes.
Best Food Store is offering the same size box of
Cocoa Blast at a price of $3.50 for two boxes.
Which offer gives you the most cereal for your
money?

Answer 1

The Friendly Food Store's sale.

Explanation:

Say you were to get 10 boxes of cereal. We would use this to figure out which one costs less.

Since the Friendly Food Store is offering 5 for 8.25, we would multiply the amount of money by two to get 10.

8.25 x 2 = $16.50

The Best Food Store is offering 2 for 3.50. The same would apply here for the equation, but we would multiply the amount by 5.

3.50 x 5 = $17.50

Thus you would find out that the sale at the Friendly Food Store would give you the most cereal for your money.

Answer 2

The Friendly Food Store has the best offer
