Question

Which is a better buy: 3 pounds for $3.87 or 5 pounds for $6.65?

Answer 1

5 pounds for 6.65 because you will get more pounds for a good amount of money.

Answer 2

$3.87÷3 is $1.29, so you are spending $1.29 per pound on that deal.

$6.65÷5 is $1.33, so you are spending $1.33 per pound on that deal.

So, 3 pounds for $3.87 is a better buy because you are spending $1.29/pound instead of $1.33/pound.
