The hardware store sells 4th of July sparklers for 19 cents each. The fireworks stand charges 85 cents for four. Where would you purchase sparklers?

Let's find the unit rates and compare. The hardware store's one is already given, so we only need to find the one for the stand.

85/4 = 0.2125

0.2125 > 0.19

You would want to buy at the store. Hope this helps!
