Question

Tyron has a choice between two carpets that he likes equally well. One costs $12.50 per Square yard; the other costs $1.70 per square foot. Which is the better buy?

Answer 1

Answer:

the better choice would be the first carpet ($12.50)

Step-by-step explanation:

1 square yard = 9 square feet

so if you turn them both into square yard measurement (9*1.70) it would be $15.30 for the second carpet and still 12.50 for the first carpet.

Therefore the better choice would be the first carpet ($12.50)
