You can buy 3 apples at the quick market for 1.86. You can buy 5 of the same kind of apples at stop and save for 2.30. Which place is the better buy?

Answer 1

You need to figure out how much 1 apple is at each store. Divide the price by the number of apples.

1.86/3 = .62

2.30/5 = .46

Since .46 is smaller than .62, the Stop and Save has a better buy.
