Question

Antonio needs 8 feet of ribbon to complete a project. He can purchase a 180-inch (15-foot) packaged length for $3.99, or he can buy the ribbon by the foot for $0.39/ft. Which is the better deal for Antonio?

Answer 1

Tricky question, but it would be a better deal if he wants extra ribbon, then he could but the 180 inch and get more for only $3.99. But if he wants to have the exact 8 feet ribbon, it would only be $3.12.
