Question

At the store one pack of pencils are on sale 4 for $1.25. Another pack has 8 pencils for $2.50 with 20% off. Which is the better deal?

Answer 1

second pack

Explanation:

1.25÷4= 0.31 so for the first pack 1 pencil cost $0.31

2.50×20%= 0.5 so its ¢50 off. 2.50-0.50= 2. 2÷8= 0.25. so for the second pack 1 pencil costs $0.25 which is lower than the 1st pack.

I hope it wasn't too confusing
