Question

There are two options for buying crickets option A.7 pounds of crickets for 3.15 option B.3 pounds of crickets for 1.47 which option is better to buy justify your answer

Answer 1

Answer: 7

pounds for 3.15 is a better option

Explanation:

Here in this question, we want to know which of the two options is a better option for buying crickets.

To know the better option, we shall be needing the unit price in whatever system to be used;

7 pounds of crickets for 3.15;

so the unit price here will be 3.15/7 = 0.45 per pound

For the second system, we have 3 pounds for 1.47 so the unit price will be 1.47/3 = 0.49 per pound

As we can see, the first option commands a cheaper price per unit, so it is the better option to buy
