In January, a store sold 3 scarves for $14.10. In March, it sold 5 scarves for $22.90. In which month did a scarf cost the least?

March because January (14.10 / 3 = 4.7) and March (22.90 / 5 = 4.58)

In January, a store sold 3 scarves for $14.10.

so 1 scarf = 14,10 : 3 = $4,7

In March, it sold 5 scarves for $22.90.

so 1 scarf = 22.90 : 5 = $4.58

In which month did a scarf cost the least?

in march
