Question

At the market you can buy 5 bags of apples for 23.60 At the orchard you can get 7 bags of apples for 32.76. Which is better deal

Answer 1

Orchard

Explanation:

To compare two different price points, it's best to simplify the cost by reducing each cost to how much *one* bag would cost. In this case, the totals would be:

$23.60/5 bags = $4.72 for 1 Bag

$32.76/7 bags = $4.68 for 1 Bag

In this case, the orchard is slightly less per bag than it is at the market
