Jay and Tia are planning to buy snack chips.
• Individual bags of chips cost $3.00 each.
• Each case of chips contains 10 bags and costs $25.00.
a. If Jay buys 1 case of chips, what is the cost per bag? Show or explain how you got your answer.
b. How much money would Jay save if he bought 4 cases of chips instead of 40 individual bags of chips? Show or explain how you got your answer.
c. If Tia buys 20 individual bags of chips and Jay buys 3 cases of chips, what is the cost
per bag for all of these chips together? Show or explain how you got your answer.
d. Next week individual bags of chips will be on sale. The price of each individual bag will be reduced by 20%. Which of the following will cost less?
• 10 individual bags of chips on sale
or
• 1 case of chips at the regular case price
a.
25/10 = $2.50 per bag
b.
4 * 25 = 100
40 * 3 = 120
120 - 100 = $20
I'll be glad to check your answers for c. and d.
C.20*3=60
25*3=75
60+75=135
D.I DON'T GET THIS ONE.CAN I HAVE HELP ON THIS ONE
You didn't answer the question for c.
what is the cost
per bag for all of these chips together?
d.
(3 * 0.8)/10 = 2.40
D.2.40*10=$24.00
$25.00
SO THE ANSWER 24.00
No. Read the question carefully:
Which of the following will cost less?
• 10 individual bags of chips on sale
or
• 1 case of chips at the regular case price
a. If Jay buys 1 case of chips, it will cost $25.00 for the case. Since each case contains 10 bags, the cost per bag can be calculated by dividing the total cost of the case by the number of bags in the case: $25.00 / 10 = $2.50. So, the cost per bag is $2.50.
b. To compare the cost of buying 4 cases of chips with buying 40 individual bags, we need to calculate the total cost for each option.
- Buying 4 cases of chips: Each case costs $25.00 and contains 10 bags, so 4 cases would cost $25.00 x 4 = $100.00.
- Buying 40 individual bags: Each bag costs $3.00, so 40 bags would cost $3.00 x 40 = $120.00.
To find how much money Jay would save by buying 4 cases instead of 40 individual bags, we subtract the total cost of buying 4 cases from the total cost of buying 40 individual bags: $120.00 - $100.00 = $20.00. Therefore, Jay would save $20.00.
c. To find the cost per bag for all the chips together, we need to calculate the total cost and the total number of bags.
- Tia buys 20 individual bags: 20 bags x $3.00 per bag = $60.00.
- Jay buys 3 cases: 3 cases x $25.00 per case = $75.00.
The total cost for all the chips is $60.00 + $75.00 = $135.00. The total number of bags is 20 + (3 cases x 10 bags per case) = 50 bags.
To find the cost per bag, we divide the total cost by the total number of bags: $135.00 / 50 bags = $2.70. So, the cost per bag for all these chips together is $2.70.
d. To compare the cost of 10 individual bags on sale versus 1 case of chips at the regular case price, we need to consider the discount on the individual bags.
- Regular price of each individual bag: $3.00.
- Sale price of each individual bag (20% discount): $3.00 - (20% of $3.00) = $3.00 - $0.60 = $2.40.
The cost of 10 individual bags on sale would be 10 bags x $2.40 per bag = $24.00.
Comparing this with the regular case price, which is $25.00 for 10 bags, it is clear that buying 10 individual bags on sale would cost less than buying 1 case of chips at the regular case price. Therefore, 10 individual bags on sale would be the cheaper option.
