Question

At Irtaza's Deli he is selling 7 oranges for $5.99 and Brianna's Food Mart is selling them 10 for $8.99. Where would you go shopping and why?

Answer 1

Answer:

At Irtaza's Deli

Step-by-step explanation:

For this you should find the unit price and whichever is less is where you should go.

(1) Irtaza Deli:

First I would round the 5.99 to 6 then we'll do 6 divided by 7.

$\frac{6}{7}=.8571428571=.86$

(2) Brianna's Food Mart:

First I would round the 8.99 to 9 then we'll do 9 divided by 10.

$\frac{9}{10}=.9$

Now let's compare:

So the first store sells oranges for $.86 and the second store sells them for $.90. I don't know about you but I would go to the first store they would be much more cheaper.
