Question

What is the unit price for the cans of lemonade at each of the stores?

From which store should mié pillar and David purchase the cans of lemonade? Explain

Answer 1

for shop smart, the price is 48 packs for 9 dollars so you would divide
9 ÷ 48 to find the price for dollars per can which is 19 cents per can
for super save it's saying 48 packs for 10 dollars so divide
10 ÷ 48 and that is 21 cents per can
for price buster it's saying 36 packs for 9 dollars so you would divide
9 ÷ 36 which is 25 cents per can
so Mei Pilar and David should purchase the cans at shop smart since it's cheaper

Answer 2

Mié, Pillar and David should buy the lemonades from shop smart store.

Explanation:

At shop smart store, we have:

24 packs (2 for 9):

`(9)/(2)=4.5` per pack

`(4.5)/(24)=0.1875` or approx 19 cents per can.

At super save store, we have :

12 packs (4 for 10):

`(10)/(4)=2.5` per pack

`(2.5)/(12)=0.208` or approx 21 cents per can.

At price busters store, we have:

12 packs (3 for 9):

`(9)/(3)=3` per pack

`(3)/(12)=0.25` equals 25 cents per can.

Now, comparing the three values, we can see that 19 cents per can is the cheapest.

So, Mié, Pillar and David should buy the lemonades from shop smart store.
