Answer 1

Explanation:

It is very difficult sorting through the information as typed. Please try to organize the numbers into columns when posting questions. There also seems to be a couple of typos:

"Store C Number Cost (in ) of T-shirts 2 512 4 $24 8 $48 Store D Number Cost (in of T-shirts 3 $21 6 $42 9 563" In both cases, I'll assume the 5 was meant to be a $.

The cost of t-shirts from either store is the same price, regardless of volume. Store C sells t-shirts for $6 each, while Store D sells them for $7 each.

Answer options:

Which of these explains which store has a better buy?

1. Store C, because the ratio of the number to the cost is 6:1 in Store C and 7:1 in Store D. No, the ratio of number to cost is 1:6.

2. Store C, because the ratio of the number to the cost is 1:6 in Store and 1:7 in Store D. Yes

3. Store D, because the ratio of the number to the cost is 2:14 in Store C and 3:24 in Store D. No. Wrong ratios

4. Store D, because the ratio of the number to the cost is 14:2 in Store C and 24:3 in Store D.​ No. Wrong ratios
