Answer 1

Step 1: Let's review the information provided to us to answer the problem correctly:

• Option 1: $5.99 for 12 coffees

,

• Option 2: $ 23.99 for 70 coffee

Step 2: Let's calculate the cost of a coffee in each option, as follows:

• Cost of a coffee in Option 1 = 5.99/12 = 0.50 (rounding to the next cent): This means that every cup of coffee costs $ 0.50

• Cost of a coffe in Option 2 = 23.99/70 = 0.34 This means that every cup of coffee costs $ 0.34

Step 3: Now we can decide which is the better deal and why.

The better deal is option ........ because it is cheaper than option..........

You can complete step 3, Kay.
