The table shows the advertised prices of different quantities of action figures at several toy stores.

Question

How much do 20 action figures cost at the store with the lowest unit price?

A 2-column table with 3 rows. Column 1 is labeled Store with entries Hugh's Heroes, Craig's Collection, Tony's Treasures. Column 2 is labeled Action Figure Advertised Prices with entries 5 figures for 49.95, 7 figures for 62.93, 10 figures for 94.90.

20

Answer 1

To determine the cost of 20 action figures at the store with the lowest unit price, we first need to calculate the unit price (cost per action figure) for each store based on their advertised prices.

1. Hugh's Heroes:

   • Advertised price: 5 figures for $49.95
   • Unit price = \( \frac{49.95}{5} = 9.99 \) (per action figure)

2. Craig's Collection:

   • Advertised price: 7 figures for $62.93
   • Unit price = \( \frac{62.93}{7} \approx 8.99 \) (per action figure)

3. Tony's Treasures:

   • Advertised price: 10 figures for $94.90
   • Unit price = \( \frac{94.90}{10} = 9.49 \) (per action figure)

Now, let's summarize the unit prices:

• Hugh's Heroes: $9.99 per figure
• Craig's Collection: $8.99 per figure (cheapest)
• Tony's Treasures: $9.49 per figure

Since Craig's Collection has the lowest unit price, we calculate the cost for 20 action figures from that store:

\[ \text{Cost for 20 figures} = 20 \times 8.99 = 179.80 \]

Therefore, the cost of 20 action figures at the store with the lowest unit price is:

\[ \text{$179.80} \]
