Question

Amazon sells crowns and boxes of 816 and 24 with the prices listed below, which is the Best Buy
Eight crowns for $2.60
Six crowns for $3.15
or 24 crowns for $5.50

Answer 1

To determine the best buy among the options for the crowns, we need to calculate the price per crown for each option.

1. **Eight crowns for $2.60**:
\[
\text{Price per crown} = \frac{2.60}{8} = 0.325 \text{ (or 32.5 cents per crown)}
\]

2. **Six crowns for $3.15**:
\[
\text{Price per crown} = \frac{3.15}{6} = 0.525 \text{ (or 52.5 cents per crown)}
\]

3. **24 crowns for $5.50**:
\[
\text{Price per crown} = \frac{5.50}{24} \approx 0.2292 \text{ (or about 22.92 cents per crown)}
\]

Now we can summarize the price per crown for each option:

- Eight crowns: 32.5 cents per crown
- Six crowns: 52.5 cents per crown
- 24 crowns: approximately 22.92 cents per crown

The best buy is the option that offers the lowest price per crown, which is **24 crowns for $5.50** (approximately 22.92 cents per crown).
