Question

Rohan is looking to buy cookies for his daughter's Sweet Sixteen party. He goes to three

different bakeries. Dortoni's Bakery offers 24 cookies for $18.99. Levittown Parkway Bakery
offers 20 cookies for $16.75. Butter Cookies Bakery offers 28 cookies for $20.75. Which bakery
offers the best buy?

Answer 1

Butter Cookies Bakery offers the best buy, with a price of $0.74 per cookie.

Explanation:

To find the best buy, we need to compare the price per cookie at each bakery. To do this, we can divide the total price by the number of cookies at each bakery:

Dortoni's Bakery: $18.99 / 24 cookies = $0.79 per cookie

Levittown Parkway Bakery: $16.75 / 20 cookies = $0.84 per cookie

Butter Cookies Bakery: $20.75 / 28 cookies = $0.74 per cookie

From this calculation, we can see that Butter Cookies Bakery offers the best buy, with a price of $0.74 per cookie.
