Barbara wants to buy some glittery heart-shaped beads to make friendship bracelets. The beads she wants come in a small pack with 90 beads or a large pack with 300 beads. The small pack costs $3.60, while the large pack costs $9.00. Which pack is the better value?

So the large pack is a better deal.
3.60/90=.04
9.00/300=.03
Each bead costs $0.04 per bead where the large pack, each bead costs $0.03.
