Question

4) The table below shows the price of paper plates at the grocery store. Find the unit price of

each brand, rounded to the nearest cent. Which is the best buy? Explain your reasoning.
Sturdy Plates 24 pack for $3.28
No Spill Plates 10 pack for $1.79
Compartment Plates 50 pack for $6.00

Answer 1

Compartment plates is the best buy

Explanation:

To find unit price, you can just divide the price by the number of plates

Sturdy plates: 3.28÷24= $0.14/plate

No spill plates: 1.79÷10 = $0.18/plate

Compartment plates: 6.00÷50 = $0.12/ plate

Out of all of the prices, $0.12 is the cheapest

Hope this helps
