Question

Brand A is $50 for 5kg and brand B is $48 per 4kg. Which brand is cheaper?

Answer 1

Hello Donna,

In order to determine which brand is less expensive, all you need do is divide the amount of money paid by the amount in kg.

For Brand A you divide 50 by 5 kg and see that the cost per kg is $10.00 per kg.

For Brand B you divide 48 by 4 kg and see that the cost per kg is $12.00 per kg,

Therefore, we see that Brand A is less expensive because the price per kg is $10.00 where Brand B's price is $12.00 per kg.
