Where are your answers?
8. To compare the two options, we need to determine the price per brownie for each option.
Option 1: 3 brownies for $1.25
Price per brownie = $1.25 / 3 = $0.4167 (rounded to the nearest cent)
Option 2: 1 dozen brownies for $4.60
Price per brownie = $4.60 / 12 = $0.3833 (rounded to the nearest cent)
Comparing the price per brownie, we can see that Option 2 has a lower price ($0.3833) compared to Option 1 ($0.4167). Therefore, the better buy is the 1 dozen brownies for $4.60.
9. Similar to the previous question, we need to compare the price per shirt for each option.
Option 1: 3-pack of shirts for $10.95
Price per shirt = $10.95 / 3 = $3.65 (rounded to the nearest cent)
Option 2: 6-pack of shirts for $19.95
Price per shirt = $19.95 / 6 = $3.325 (rounded to the nearest cent)
Comparing the price per shirt, we can see that Option 2 has a lower price ($3.325) compared to Option 1 ($3.65). Therefore, the better buy is the 6-pack of shirts for $19.95.
10. To calculate the final price after using the coupon, subtract the coupon amount from the original price.
Original price: $1.79
Coupon: $0.25
Final price = Original price - Coupon
Final price = $1.79 - $0.25 = $1.54
Therefore, the final price after applying the coupon is $1.54.
11. Similar to the previous question, we subtract the coupon amount from the original price.
Original price: $1.45
Coupon: $0.20
Final price = Original price - Coupon
Final price = $1.45 - $0.20 = $1.25
Therefore, the final price after applying the coupon is $1.25.
12. To calculate the final price for 3 cans of ravioli after using the coupon, we first calculate the original price for 3 cans and then subtract the coupon amount.
Original price for 3 cans: $1.88 each * 3 = $5.64
Coupon: $0.35 off 3
Final price = Original price - Coupon
Final price = $5.64 - $0.35 = $5.29
Therefore, the final price for 3 cans of ravioli after applying the coupon is $5.29.
13. To calculate the final price after the mail-in rebate, subtract the rebate amount from the selling price.
Selling price: $149.54
Mail-in rebate: $25
Final price = Selling price - Mail-in rebate
Final price = $149.54 - $25 = $124.54
Therefore, the final price after the mail-in rebate is $124.54.
14. To determine the combined final price for the two items after applying the coupons, we need to calculate the individual final prices for each item and then add them together.
For the 12-pack of cola:
Original price: $2.49
Coupon: $0.55 off
Final price for the 12-pack of cola = Original price - Coupon
Final price for the 12-pack of cola = $2.49 - $0.55 = $1.94
For the 24-pack of root beer:
Original price: $5.19
Coupon: $1.00 off
Final price for the 24-pack of root beer = Original price - Coupon
Final price for the 24-pack of root beer = $5.19 - $1.00 = $4.19
Combined final price for the two items = Final price for the 12-pack of cola + Final price for the 24-pack of root beer
Combined final price = $1.94 + $4.19 = $6.13
Therefore, the combined final price for the two items is $6.13.
