Adventure Arcade sells 75 tokens for $15 or 13 tokens for $25 dollars. Which is the better deal?

Answer 1

Kathryn,

Let’s dive into this together! Here’s a quick tip for comparing deals: when one option has a higher price but a lower number of tokens, it often hints that each token might be more expensive. Let’s use this as a starting point and confirm with some quick math.

1. Option 1: 75 tokens for $15

To find the cost per token, divide $15 by 75:

15 / 75 = 0.20

So, each token costs 20 cents.

2. Option 2: 13 tokens for $25

Now, divide $25 by 13:

25 / 13 = 1.9231 or $1.92

Each token here costs about $1.92.

This confirms that Option 1 is the better deal at 20 cents per token.

Noticing patterns like this can help you make quicker, more confident decisions. If you’d like more practice with these types of problems or want tips for solving them efficiently, just let me know! I’d be happy to help you build your skills.
