Question

5:

The following are prices from a collection of hot dog vendors. Joe sells his hot dogs for
$1.50 each; Mike sells 2 hot dogs for $2; Jen sells hot dogs for $1.25 each; and Sue sells
3 hot dogs for $2.25. Who has the best deal? (CCSS6.RP.A.3)




A:Joe

B:Mike

c:Jen

D:Sue

Answer 1

Explanation:

To solve this, you need to find the unit price by dividing the cost by the amount. For Mike, divide $2 by 2 to get 1. So, Mike sells hot dogs for $1. Next, divide 2.25 by 3 to get $0.75. So, Sue sells hot dogs for $0.75.

Joe: $1.50

Mike: $1

Jen: $1.25

Sue: $0.75

So, the best deal is Sue because it is the cheapest per unit. Hope this helped!
