A sign in a bakery gives these options:

1)

Option A: 12 cupcakes for $29

Cost of 12 cupcakes = 29

Cost of one cupcake = 29/12

Cost of one cupcake(A) = $2.41

Option B: 24 cupcakes for $56

Cost of 24 cupcakes = 56

Cost of one cupcake = 56/24

Cost of one cupcake(B) = $2.33

Each unit price : Option A = $2.41, Option B = $2.33

2)

On comapring both the cost : 2.33 < 2.41

So, Cost of one cupcake (B) < Cost of one cupcake (A)

Thus, the cost of cupcake in option B takes less amount than the cost of cupcake of Option A

Best Deal : B

Answer :

1) Each unit price : Option A = $2.41, Option B = $2.33

2) Best Deal : B
