Question

A shopper needs 24 sandwich rolls. The store sells identical rolls in 2 differently sized packages. They sell a six-pack for $5.28 and a four-pack for $3.40. Should the shopper buy 4 six-packs or 6 four-packs? Explain your reasoning. 20 points!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

6 four-packs.

Step-by-step explanation:

My reasoning for 6 four-packs is that, the shopper needs 24, right? And if that shopper buys 6 four-packs it'll be cheaper than the larger package. The 6 four-packs come to a cost of $20.04. But the 4 six-packs will come out as $21.12. The shopper will be able to save $1.08 :)
