Question

You can buy 3 apples at the Quick Market for $1.05. You can buy 5 of the same apples at Stop and Save for $2.45. Which Place is the better buy? [Also may you please tell me how you got the answer because im struggling with ratios a bit]

Answer 1

Find the price for each apple by dividing the price over the number of apples. At Quixk Market, each apple costs 1.05/3 or $.35 per apple.
At Stop and Save, you can buy one apple for 2.45/5 or $.49.
The Quick Market is a better buy because It has $.15 less for each apple.
Hope this helps.
