Answer: The answer is given below
Step-by-step explanation:
From store 1:
Latoya paid $17.64 for a 7.94-kg bag of dog food. The unit price will be the price paid divided by the quantity. This will be:
= $17.64/7.94
= $2.22 per kg
For store 2:
A few weeks later she paid $18.88 for an $8.39-kg bag at a difference store. The unit price in the second store will be: $18.88/8.39 = $2.25 per kg.
The unit price of the first store is a better buy because the price is cheaper.
Answer:
the price of the first store is cheaper by 0.03 dollars (2.25 - 2.22), that is to say 3 cents
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the unit price we must divide by the price by the weight, thus we will obtain the value for each kilogram of dog food:
First price:
17.64 / 7.94 = 2.22
In other words, the price is 2.22 dollars per kilogram.
Second price:
18.88 / 8.39 = 2.25
In other words, the price is 2.25 dollars per kilogram.
Which means, that the price of the first store is cheaper by 0.03 dollars (2.25 - 2.22), that is to say 3 cents.
