Question

Sally is shopping for diapers and sees a box with 216 diapers for \$39.98 and a box with 88 diapers for \$24.99 . Which option has the better deal the diapers?

Answer 1

The first step is to find out the value of one diaper for each equation

39.98/216 = 0.18
Therefore one diaper is for 0.18 cents

24.99/88 = 0.28
Therefore one diaper is for 0.28 cents

At the end the first deal is better

Answer 2

Answer:

For me I think 216 diapers for 39.98 is the best option

Step-by-step explanation:

Get the price of one diaper in each offer

216 = $39.98

1= ?

1×39.98÷216=0.19

Option 2

88=24.99

1 =?

1×24.99÷88=0.28

So I prefer buying 1 diaper for$0.19 and get 216 of them for $39.98 rather than buying 1 diaper for $0.28 and get 88 of them for $24.99
