Question

At store A, oranges are $3.99 for 5 apples. At store B oranges are $20 for 7 apples which is the better deal?

Answer 1

Store A

Step-by-step explanation:

To know which is the best deal, we need to find the price per apple for each store, so we need to divide the price by the number of apples.

For store A:

`\frac{\text{ \$3.99}}{5\text{ Apples}}=0.798\text{ per apple}`

For Store B:

`\frac{\text{ \$20}}{7\text{ Apples}}=2.85\text{ per apple}`

So, the best deal is Store A because the price per apple is less than the price of Store B.
