Question

the ski team needs new uniforms. The students plan to sell plush toy eagles (the school mascot) for $5 each. The students find three companies online that sell stuffed mascots. Company A sells 18 eagles for $49.32. Company B seels 16 eagles for $43.36. Company C charges $41.55 for 15 eagles. Which company has the best to buy?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Company A = 18 eagles for $49.32

Price per eagle = $49.32 / 18

= $2.74

Company B = 16 eagles for $43.36

Price per eagle = $43.36 / 16 eagles

= $2.71

Company C = $41.55 for 15 eagles

Price per eagle = $41.55 / 15 eagles

= $2.77

The company which has the best buy is company C, they sell 1 eagle for $2.77 (highest selling price among the three companies)
