Question

Which is the better deal?8 pounds of candy at $10.76 or 12 pounds of candy at $15.02?

Answer 1

CORRECT ANSWER: 12 pounds of candy at $15.02
CORRECT SOLUTION:

First find out how much for 1 pound of candy = 10.76 ÷ 8 = 1.345

Then find out how much for 12 pounds in the first deal = 1.345 × 12 = 16.14

The second deal is better since 16.14 is a bigger amount than 15.03
