Question

Ava wants to wash one load of laundry at a local laundromat. At laundromat A, it costs $6.35 to wash and $1.25 to dry one load of laundry. At laundromat B, it costs $5.95 to wash and $0.85 to dry one load of laundry. Which laundromat has the better price for doing one load of laundry, and by how much?

Answer 1

Laundromat A = 6.35 +1.25 = 7.60 for one load

Laundromat B = 5.95 +0.85 = 6.80 for one load

7.60-6.80 = 0.80

Laundromat B is has the better price by 0.80 cents
