To determine which brand Regina should buy in order to get the best price per egg, we need to compare the prices and quantities of the different brands.
Brand A: 6 eggs $1.77
Price per egg = $1.77 / 6 eggs = $0.295 per egg
Brand B: 12 eggs $3.75
Price per egg = $3.75 / 12 eggs = $0.3125 per egg
Brand C: 18 eggs $5.24
Price per egg = $5.24 / 18 eggs = $0.2911 per egg
Brand D: 24 eggs $7.10
Price per egg = $7.10 / 24 eggs = $0.2958 per egg
Comparing the prices per egg, we can see that Brand C has the lowest price per egg at $0.2911. Therefore, Regina should buy Brand C if she wants to get the best price per egg.
To determine the best price per egg, we need to calculate the price per egg for each brand. The price per egg can be obtained by dividing the total price by the number of eggs.
Brand A: 6 eggs for $1.77
Price per egg = $1.77 / 6 = $0.295
Brand B: 12 eggs for $3.75
Price per egg = $3.75 / 12 = $0.313
Brand C: 18 eggs for $5.24
Price per egg = $5.24 / 18 = $0.291
Brand D: 24 eggs for $7.10
Price per egg = $7.10 / 24 = $0.296
Comparing the price per egg for each brand, we can see that Brand C has the lowest price per egg, which is $0.291. Therefore, Regina should buy Brand C if she wants to get the best price per egg. So, your initial guess that the answer is B is incorrect. The correct answer is C.
