Fundraising The robotics team needs new uniforms. The students plan to sell plush toy lions (the school mascot) for $5 each.
The students find three companies on-line that sell stuffed mascots. Company A sells 16 lions for $44.32. Company B sells 18 lions for $50.22. Company C charges $32.88 for 12 lions. Which company has the best buy? :)
In order to see which company has the best buy we have to see the amount each company sells for one stuffed mascot. In order to do this we have to divide .
Company A:
Company A sells 16 lions for $44.32 this is the same as 1 stuffed lion for $2.77.
Company B:
Company B sells 18 lions for $50.22 this is the same as 1 stuffed lion for $2.79.
Company C:
Company C sells 12 lions for $32.88 this is the same as 1 stuffed lion for $2.74
Thus as you can see the company with the best buy is company C.
