Question

I have questions, Two stores offer differently priced sales for the same paper towels, according to the table below. Which store offers the better deal, based on a lower unit price per roll? Store 1 Store 2 Paper towel rolls 12 15 Price $3.30 $3.50 Store ___ has the better deal.

Answer 1

Store 1: 12 towel rolls for $3.30

Store 2: 15 towel rolls for $3.50

Divide 3.30 by 12 ⇒ 3.3/12 = $0.275 per roll - Store 1

Divide 3.50 by 15 ⇒ 3.5/15 = $0.233 per roll - Store 2

Store 2 has the lower unit price per roll, so $\boxed {Store~2}$ has the better deal.
