Find the unit price and tell which is the better buy:
Buy one 10 pack of AAA batteries for $5.49 and get one free, or buy two 4 packs for $2.98.
I did the last problem for you. Now it's your turn.
I'll be glad to check your answer.
Could you please check my answer?
I did this:
10+10=20.
5.49/20=0.2745 per battery
4+4=8
2.98/8=0.3725 per battery
The better deal is if you buy the one 10 pack for $5.49 and get one free.
Right.
Thank you!!
You're welcome.
10+10=20
5.29/20=0.2745
4+4=8
2.98/8=0.3725
The better deal is the one pack of 10 for $5.49 and get one free
To find the unit price, we need to divide the total price by the quantity of batteries.
First, let's calculate the unit price for the first option of buying a 10 pack of AAA batteries with buy one, get one free. Since you're getting one pack for free, we only need to consider the price for the pack you're purchasing.
Total price for the 10 pack is $5.49, but you're buying 1 pack, so to find the unit price, we divide $5.49 by 1.
Unit price for the buy one, get one free option = $5.49 / 1 = $5.49
Now, let's calculate the unit price for the second option of buying two 4 packs for $2.98.
Total price for the two 4 packs is $2.98. Since you're buying 2 packs, we divide the total price of $2.98 by 2 to find the unit price for each pack.
Unit price for the two 4 packs = $2.98 / 2 = $1.49
Now that we have the unit prices for both options, we can compare them to determine which is the better buy.
The unit price for the buy one, get one free option is $5.49, while the unit price for the two 4 packs option is $1.49.
Therefore, the better buy would be the two 4 packs for $2.98, as it has a lower unit price compared to the buy one, get one free option.
