Answer 1

a. 6Pack of paint brushes for $12.99

b. 5 classes for $64.99

c. 12 pack of paper plates

Explanation:

a.

I could buy a 6 pack of paint brushes for $ 12.99

or

buy 6 individual brushes for the price of $ 2.19 each.

6 x $2.19 = $13.14

first option is cheaper

b.

10 classes for s total of $150

$150 ÷ 10 = $15 (price per class)

5 classes for $64.99

$64.99 ÷ 5 = $12.998 (price per class)

c.

12 pack of paper plates for $2.29

25 pack for $4.99

$2.29 ÷ 12 = $0.1908 (price of one plate)

$4.99 ÷ 25 = $0.1996 (price for one plate)
