Question

Which is the better buy, 6 bagels for $3.29 or 8 bagels for $4.15?

Answer 1

Well, we'd want to calculate the price of 1 bagel first.

To see which is better: divide $3.29 by 6 and then divide $4.15 by 8 and see which has the lowest answer.

The first option rounds off to $0.55 for one bagel. The second option rounds off to $0.52 for one bagel.

The second option is the best.
