Question

You can buy 3 apples at the Quick Market for $1.35. You can buy 5 of the same apples at Stop and Save for

$1.00. Which place is the better buy?

Answer 1

Stop and Save is the better buy because its $1.00 for 5 apples so its 20 cents per apple

and

Quick Market is $1.35 for 3 apples so its 45 cents per apple

`1.00 / 5 = 0.20`

Stop and Save Better Buy

`1.35 / 3 = 0.45`
