Question

KEVIN BOUGHT 3 POUNDS OF TRI-TIP FROM B STREET BUTCHERS FOR $29.97 AND ARNOLD BOUGHT 4 POUNDS OF TRI-TIP FROM MEL"S MEAT MARKET FOR $35.96.
KEVIN BELIEVES HE GOT THE BETTER DEAL, BUT ARNOLD BELIEVES HE GOT THE BETTER DEAL.

WHO IS CORRECT?

Answer 1

Answer:

Arnold

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to compare, you'd have to find out how much they paid for each pound of tri-tip. So, to do this, you would divide the total amount of money the spent on the pounds by the number of pounds they bought. So for Kevin, you'd divide 29.97 by 3 to get that Kevin paid $9.99 for each pound. For Arnold, you'd divide 35.96 by 4 to get that Arnold paid $8.99 for each pound. And 8.99 is less than 9.99, so Arnold was right.
