1) To find each unit price, let's find out the unit rate. Setting a proportion.

Option A

cupcakes price

12 ------------------- 29

1 --------------------x

Cross multiplying it:

12x = 29 Divide both sides by 12

x =2.42

Each cupcake costs $ 2.42

Option B

24 ------------ 56

1 ------------ y

24y = 56

y =$2.33 per cupcake.

2) The best deal for buying cupcakes is found in Option B. Since the price is lower per cupcake

3) Hence, the answers are:

Option A = $2.42 per cupcake

Option B =$2.33 per cupcake

Best Deal: Option B
