Question

The robotics team needs new uniforms. The students plan to sell plush toy lions ​(the school​ mascot) for​ $5 each. The students find three companies​ on-line that sell stuffed mascots. Company A sells 18 lions for ​$49.86. Company B sells 12 lions for ​$32.88. Company C charges ​$44.64 for 16 lions. Which company has the best​ buy? PLS HELP

Answer 1

Answer: Company B.

Explanation:

First we have to find the price per one unit.

Company A: $49.86/18=$2.77 per plush

Company B: $32.88/12=$2.74 per plush

Company C: $44.64/16=$2.79 per plush

Now we compare these rates, and we can find that company B is the best option.
