Question

Four stores sell chips at different prices according to the chart below: Store A Store B Store C Store D Number of Bags of Chips 3 4 6 Total Price $3.66 $4.80 $7.50 $13.00

Answer 1

D. Store B.

Explanation:

To know which is the least expensive, we must calculate the price for a single bag of chips, just like this:

`\begin{gathered} A=(3.66)/(3)=\text{ \$1.22 per bag of chips} \\ B=(4.8)/(4)=\text{\$1.2 per bag of chips} \\ C=(7.5)/(6)=\text{\$1.25 per bag of chips} \\ D=(13)/(10)=\text{\$1.3 per bag of chips} \end{gathered}`

The one with the best price per bag of chip is the one from store B
