Using a loyalty card at the local gas station store, Ella gets a free soda after buying 5 sodas at the regular price of 89¢. Same-sized sodas at the local fast food restaurant are 79¢ each. How do the two deals compare if Ella buys 6 sodas?HELP

Answer:

The cost of buying 6 sodas at 79¢ each is greater than the cost of buying 5 sodas and getting 1 free

Explanation:

Ella gets a free soda after buying 5 sodas at the regular price of 89¢

Total cost of 6 sodas( 5 + 1 free)

= 89¢ × 5

= 445¢

Same-sized sodas at the local fast food restaurant are 79¢ each.

Total cost of 6 sodas = 79¢ × 6

= 474¢

The cost of buying 6 sodas at 79¢ each is greater than the cost of buying 5 sodas and getting 1 free
