You can buy 3 apples at the Quick Market for $1.05. You can buy 5 of the same apples at Stop and Save for $2.45. Which Place is the better buy? [Also may you please tell me how you got the answer because im struggling with ratios a bit]
Find the price for each apple by dividing the price over the number of apples. At Quixk Market, each apple costs 1.05/3 or $.35 per apple. At Stop and Save, you can buy one apple for 2.45/5 or $.49. The Quick Market is a better buy because It has $.15 less for each apple. Hope this helps.
