Question

The track team needs new uniforms. The students plan to sell plush toy bears ​(the school​ mascot) for​ $5 each. The students find three companies​ on-line that sell stuffed mascots. Company A sells 15 bears for ​$43.05. Company B sells 16 bears for ​$46.24. Company C charges ​$34.20 for 12 bears. Which company has the best​ buy?

Answer 1

Company C

Explanation:

To find the cost of each bear, you must divide each price by the amount of bears. The prices are shown below:

For company A, each bear costs $2.87.

For company B, each bear costs $2.89.

For company C, each bear costs $2.85.

So, the best buy for the team would be Company C.
