Question

Kendra is choosing bouquets of flowers for table centerpieces. She decides to buy 40 bouquets for $120 because she thinks that price is a better value than 40 bouquets for $2.50 each. Explain Kendra’s error.

Answer 1

The better deal is purchasing 40 bouquets at 2.50 each because she would only be spending 100.00 instead of 120.00

Answer 2

Her error is that 40 Times 2.50 is cheaper than 120. 40 Times 2.50 is actually 100
