To find the price per spoon of brand A, divide the cost by the amount of spoons:

1.99 / 25 = 0.0796

Repeat this process for brand B:

3.89 / 42 = 0.0926

Brand A, at $0.08 a unit, is the better buy of brands A and B.

Hope this helps.

Answer:

Brand B is the better buy based on the unit price.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Greg needs to buy plastic spoons.

To find : The unit price for each brand. Then state which brand is the better buy based on the unit price ?

Solution :

Unit price is the price for a single unit of measure of a product.

1) Brand A has a box of 25 spoons for $1.99.

So, 25 spoon cost $1.99.

1 spoon cost is \frac{1.99}{25}

1 spoon cost is $0.0796.

Round to the nearest cent - $0.08.

2) Brand B has a box of 42 spoons for $3.89.

So, 42 spoon cost $3.89.

1 spoon cost is \frac{3.89}{42}

1 spoon cost is $0.0926.

Round to the nearest cent - $0.09.

As 0.09 > 0.08

So, brand B is the better buy based on the unit price.

A landscaper wants to find the answer to the question “How much time do people in Raleigh, North Carolina, spend doing yard work
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

The result will be inaccurate.

Step-by-step explanation:

A landscaper wants to find the answer to the question “How much time do people in Raleigh, North Carolina, spend doing yard work in one week?”

He asks the owners of all 120 houses in a Raleigh neighborhood.

The results of such a survey can never be accurate.

Firstly, the sample is not random as the person selected all the 120 houses in the neighborhood.

Secondly, few samples do not represent a large population. The city must have many lawns and the lawns of a single area does not denote the lawns of the entire city.

So, the results will be inaccurate.
