I was at the store, and saw two sizes of avocados being sold. The regular size sold for $0.94 each. For what prices would the larger avocado be a better deal

Question

i need help solving this problem i don't understand how to solve it at all. can some one please help me solve this.

Answer 1

Regular size sells for 94 cents

Let the Larger size = L

let m = how many times larger L is than R

94R = PL/m where P = the price of the Larger size

P = 94m = the Price of the Larger size that makes it the same price per amount of avocado

if P>94m then buy the Regular size as the better bargain

if P<94m then buy the Larger size

For example if the Larger is twice as large as the regular then

For P> 94(2) or P > $1,88 cents per Large avocado the regular size is the better deal.. If the price of the larger is greater than $1.88, then buy the Regular size

if P< $1.88, buy the Larger size

if P= $1.88, their cost per pound is the same.
