Question

Roger went to 2 stores to buy a pack of baseball cards. One store had a pack of 10 for $1.50 and the other store sold 20 for $2.25. Which is the better buy?


Select the correct answer.



Question 37 options:

20 for $2.25

10 for $1.50

Answer 1

To determine the better buy, we need to calculate the cost per card for each option.

For the first store, the cost per card is $1.50/10 = $0.15.

For the second store, the cost per card is $2.25/20 = $0.1125.

Comparing the two options, it is clear that buying 20 cards for $2.25 is the better buy as it has a lower cost per card. So, the correct answer is: 20 for $2.25.
