Question

Compare the rates to find which is the best value.


3 greeting cards for $13.50



9 greeting cards for $38.25



6 greeting cards for $23.40



8 greeting cards for $32.80

Answer 1

Compute the unit price (price per card):

- 3 for $13.50 → $13.50 ÷ 3 = $4.50 per card
- 9 for $38.25 → $38.25 ÷ 9 = $4.25 per card
- 6 for $23.40 → $23.40 ÷ 6 = $3.90 per card
- 8 for $32.80 → $32.80 ÷ 8 = $4.10 per card

Best value: 6 cards for $23.40 ($3.90 per card).
