Question

7. Jasmine buys a pack of 15 socks for $9.00. Shawn buys a pack of 20 socks for

$11.00. Write a ratio to represent they paid to the number of socks. Who got a better
deal on socks? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer: Well if you buy a pack of socks with 15 for $9 you are not getting the best deal over buying a pack of socks with 20 for $11. The reason behind this is because each sock is worth $0.6 meaning that you are only paying two extra dollars for five socks which would have normally cost $3. Shawn (with the 20 pack) is saving $1.
