Question

Mrs. Watson wants to buy some dresses for her trip to Houston. There are three boutiques, each offering a different deal.

Table
Lara's Boutique 4 dresses for $64
The Dress Shop 5 dresses for $75
Marge's Dresses 8 dresses for $160
Which boutique has the best deal for dresses?
A. Both Marge's Dresses and Lara Boutique
B. The Dress Shop
C. Lara's Boutique
D. Marge's Dresses

Answer 1

B. The Dress Shop.

Explanation:

To find the best deal, we want to find the cost for one dress.

Lara's Boutique: $64 for 4 dresses.

x / 1 = 64 / 4

x = 64 / 4

x = $16 per dress.

The Dress Shop: $75 for 5 dresses.

x / 1 = 75 / 5

x = 75 / 5

x = $15 per dress.

Marge's Dresses: $160 for 8 dresses.

x / 1 = 160 / 8

x = 160 / 8

x = $20 per dress.

The boutique with the best deal will have the cheapest dresses. So, the best deal would be at B. The Dress Shop.

Hope this helps!
