The Best Deal on Beans.

Which store is offering the best deal? Explain.
a) A (8 for $6)
b) B (10 for $10)
c) C (2 for $3)
d) D ($0.80 each)

Answer 1

Option A is the best deal on beans at $0.75 per bean, which is less expensive than the other three options.

Step-by-step explanation:

When deciding which store is offering the best deal on beans, we need to calculate the price per bean for each option:

• Option A: 8 beans for $6 results in $6 ÷ 8 = $0.75 per bean.
• Option B: 10 beans for $10 results in $10 ÷ 10 = $1.00 per bean.
• Option C: 2 beans for $3 results in $3 ÷ 2 = $1.50 per bean.
• Option D: Beans for $0.80 each is already given as a per bean price.

Comparing these prices, Option A is the cheapest per bean at $0.75. This means store A is offering the best deal for purchasing beans.
