Answer 1

Ben can buy 5 notebooks for $6.75 at Store A or 3 notebook for $4.50 at store B. Which store offers the better value?

Take time to evaluate the math problem.

First of all, find out how much each individual notebook cost at Store A. Ben purchased 5 notes

Use Division to the find the individual cost of $6.75 by 5

Store A $6.75 divided by 5 or $6.75/5 = $1.35 The cost for each notebook at Store A = $1.35

____________________________________________________________________________________

Secondly, find out how much each individual notebook cost at Store B. Ben purchased 3 notebooks

Use Division to the find the individual cost of $4.50 by 3

Store B $4.50 divided by 3 or $4.50/3 = $1.50 The cost for each notebook at Store B = $1.50

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Finally, lets multiple each individual cost by 5 to determine which store offer the beter deal.

Store A $1.35 X 5 = $6.75 Store A cost less than (Store B)

Store B $1.50 x 5 = $7.50 Store B cost more than (Store A)

Solution:

Store A offers the better deal, with notebooks costing $1.35 each while Store B notebooks cost $1.50 each.

I hope the mathematical calculations (step by step approach) was helpful. Please let me know if you require any more assistance. If anyone in my neighborhood is interested in setting up an in-person math tutoring session. I look forward to hearing from them. Have an amazing day. Doris H.

Answer 2

Good question! Store A has a better value per notebook.

To find the value per notebook, you have to use division.

Store A is offering 5 notebooks for $6.75. So, to find the price per notebook, you will have to divide $6.75 by 5.

$6.75 ÷ 5 = 1.35.

So, Store A is offering each notebook for $1.35.

Store B is offering 3 notebooks for $4.50. So, to find the price per notebook, you will have to divide $4.50 by 3.

$4.50 ÷ 3 = 1.50.

So, Store B is offering each notebook for $1.50.

Therefore, Store A is offering each notebooks for less. This means Ben can buy more notebooks for less money at Store A than at Store B, which means Store A is offering better value.

Answer 3

Store A

6.75 ÷ 5 = 1.35

Store B

4.50 ÷ 3 = 1.50

Store A has the better value at $1.35 per notebook.

Answer 4

Store A

6.75/5 = $1.35 for one book

Sore B

4.50/3 = $1.5 for one book

Therefore, Store A offers the better value.

Answer 5

6.75 / 5 = 1.35 for one book

4.50 / 3 = 1.50 for one book

What would you say is a better price?
