Question

Which is the best deal for a package of soap?a) $5.75 for 14 oz of soapb) $5.50 for 13 oz of soapc) $3.45 for 3.5 oz of soapd) $5.25 for 12 oz of soap

Answer 1

a) $5.75 for 14 oz

Explanation:

1) Find how much soap you get for $1 of each

To find out this, we have to divide the amount by how much it costs. This will give us how much soap each one will give you for $1.

a) 14 ÷ 5.75 = 2.43

b) 13 ÷ 5.50 = 2.36

c) 3.5 ÷ 3.45 = 1.01

d) 12 ÷ 5.25 = 2.29

From this we can see that we would be getting the most soap for $1 if we were to buy the first one. This means that it is the best deal!

Hope this helps, have a lovely day! :)
