Answer:

I dont know if this is supposed to be solved a certain way for a class, but as a bargain shopper, this is what I would do to figure out the best value.

Explanation:

First divide $10 by 4: 10.00/4=2.5 or $2.50 per card

Then, divide $14 by 6: 14.00/6=2.3333333 so about $2.33 per card

Now, just look at the two answers and see which one is less.

If you buy 4 cards for $10, you will pay $2.50 for each card and if you buy 6 cards for $14, you will pay about $2.33 for each card. Therefore, the better value would be the 6 cards for $14.
