Question

One market sells a 3-kilogram bag of tortillas for 45 pesos, and the second market sells 2 kilograms of tortillas for 22 pesos.

Which unit price is lower? / Would I subtract 2 kilo from 22 pesos?

Answer 1

The second market is cheaper

Explanation:

For the first market:

If the 3Kg = 45 pesos

then 1Kg = 15 pesos because you divide it by 3

In the same way for the second market:

2Kg = 22pesos

so 1Kg is 11 pesos as you divide it by 2.

Therefore the second market is cheaper as the unit price is lower.
