Answer 1

Noah should buy 6 packages of the 10-burrito special, because it will save him $1.00.

Explanation:

10*6=60

6*14= 84

6*10=60

8.50*10= 85

$85.00 is greater than $84.00, therefore Noah should buy 6 packages of the 10-burrito special, because it will save him $1.00.

Answer 2

For the ten burrito special deal he will pay

6×14=$84

For the six burrito pack he will pay:

10×8.50=$85

Therefore he should buy 6 packages of 10-burrito special.

It will save him $1
