Question

Which is the better deal? $39.55 for 7 pairs of jeans OR $22.48 for 4 pairs of jeans

Answer 1

Answer:

I will say %39.56 for 7 pairs because you'll have 7 pair of jeans so you don't have to buy more if some of your jeans rips or something happens so yeah.

Answer 2

Answer:

$39.55 for 7 pairs of jeans

Step-by-step explanation:

The LCM of 7 and 4 is 28, so I decided to use that as an example.

4×7=28

22.48×8=179.84

So if you wanted 28 jeans, you'd be paying $179.84

- - - - -

Now the first deal.

7×4=28

39.55×4=158.2

For 28 jeans, you'd be paying $158.20

For 28 jeans, the first choice offers a better deal than the other.

Mind you, I know the word problem isnt about 28 jeans. But since 28 was the LCM of 4 and 7, I decided to use it as an example
