Question

Sasha's mom is ordering food trays for Sasha's elementary school graduation party. Banquet Brothers sell a tray with 48 servings of pasta for $60. Cookin' Catering sells a tray with 30 servings of pasta for $72. Which company has the better deal?

Answer 1

Answer: Banquet Brothers has better deal.

Explanation:

Given: Banquet Brothers sell a tray with 48 servings of pasta for $60.

Cost per serving =
`\$(60)/(48)=\$(5)/(4)=\$\ 1.25`

Cookin' Catering sells a tray with 30 servings of pasta for $72.

Cost per serving =
`\$(72)/(30)=\$\ 2.4`

Since, Cost per serving in Banquet Brothers < Cost per serving in Cookin' Catering

So, Banquet Brothers has better deal.
