Please help me with math i need it soon

Answer 1

Divide each price by the number of cubic yards it buys to find the cost per cubic yard.

A. $165/(3 yd³) = $55/yd³

B. $240/(4 yd³) = $60/yd³

C. $300/(6 yd³) = $50/yd³

D. $360/(8 yd³) = $45/yd³ . . . . . . . this is the best price per cubic yard.

Answer 2

Lets get started :)

We are told that Mrs. Thymes is buying mulch for her gardens.

Let us check the price for each option:

$\boxed {Option \ A}$
3 yd³ for $165
Divide 165 by 3, to find the price per cubic yard:
$\frac{165}{3}$ = $55 per cubic yard

$\boxed {Option \ B }$
4 yd³ for $240
Do the same:
$\frac{240}{4}$ = $60 per cubic yard

$\boxed {Option \ C }$
6 yd³ for $300
$\frac{300}{6}$ = $50 per cubic yard

$\boxed {Option \ D }$
8 yd³ for $360
$\frac{360}{8}$ = $45 per cubic yard

Therefore, we can see that 8 yd³ for $360 is the best price

$\boxed {Your \ Answer \ will \ be \ Option \ D }$
