Question

Brand A: 20 for $2.50

Brand B: 35 for $3.25

Brand C: 50 for $5.25

Brand D: 100 for $10.00

Answer 1

To determine the best buy, we can compare the price per item for each brand.

Brand A: 20 for $2.50
Price per item = $2.50 / 20 = $0.125

Brand B: 35 for $3.25
Price per item = $3.25 / 35 ≈ $0.093

Brand C: 50 for $5.25
Price per item = $5.25 / 50 = $0.105

Brand D: 100 for $10.00
Price per item = $10.00 / 100 = $0.10

Considering the price per item, Brand B offers the best buy at approximately $0.093 per item.
