Question

brand a: 6 eggs $1.77
brand b: 12 eggs $3.75
brand c: 18 eggs $5.24
brand d: 24 eggs $7.10

assuming all the eggs are of similar quality, which decision should regina make if she wants to get the best price per egg

Answer 1

To determine the best price per egg, we can divide the total price by the quantity of eggs in each brand.

For brand A: 1.77 / 6 ≈ $0.295 per egg
For brand B: 3.75 / 12 ≈ $0.3125 per egg
For brand C: 5.24 / 18 ≈ $0.2911 per egg
For brand D: 7.10 / 24 ≈ $0.2958 per egg

Based on these calculations, brand C provides the best price per egg at approximately $0.2911 per egg. Thus, Regina should choose brand C to get the best value for money.
