Daya is shopping for cat food, and she finds out that 2 different stores are offering 2 different deals. Store A is selling 3 cans of cat food for $5. Store B is selling 9 cans of cat food for $14. Which store is offering a better deal?

Respuesta :

[tex]\text{We need to find the store with the better deal}\\\\\text{In order to find this, we must figure out what 1 can cost in the store}\\\\\text{Store A:}\\\\\text{3 cans for 5 dollars}\\\\\text{Divide 5 by 3}\\\\5\div3=1.67\\\\\text{\$1.67 per can}\\\\\text{Store B:}\\\\\text{9 cans for 14 dollars}\\\\\text{Divide 14 by 9}\\\\14\div9=1.56\\\\\text{\$1.56 per can}\\\\\text{You would see that the cost per can at Store B is cheaper. so Store B}\\\text{has the better deal}\\\\[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{\text{Store B}}[/tex]
