Answer:
The first one
Step-by-step explanation:
To figure out which one is the best deal, for each one how much <em>one</em> t-shirt costs.
<u>First deal:</u>
3 t-shirts for $28.95
To figure out how much money one t-shirt would cost, you divide $28.95 by 3.
1 t-shirt = 28.95/3 = $9.65.
<u>Second deal:</u>
4 t-shirts for $39
Same thing as the last one, except since there are 4 t-shirts you divide $39 by 4.
1 t-shirt = 39/4 = $9.75
<u>Third deal:</u>
5 t-shirts for $49.95
This time you will divide 49.95 by 5.
1 t-shirt = 49.95/5 = $9.99
The last step is to compare the three deals, and since you are trying to find the one that costs the <em>least</em> you can see that the first deal is the best one, because $9.65 per shirt is cheaper than $9.75 and $9.99
 
        
             
        
        
        
5 pounds = $2.49
1 pound = $2.49 ÷ 5 = $0.50 (nearest hundredth)
.
Answer: $0.50/pound
