Find the unit price for each option shown below. Round to the nearest cent when necessary. Indicate which option is the better buy. Option I: 10 candy bars for $6.75 Option II: 12 candy bars for $7.25 @Destinymasha can you also show me how you got your answer?

OpenStudy (destinymasha):

you need to divide for both, then round off to the nearest cent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You divide unit per price = 10/$6.75 = $1.48 12/$7.25 = $1.65 Which means 10 units are cheaper

OpenStudy (destinymasha):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would option 1 be the better buy??

OpenStudy (destinymasha):

which one seems like a better deal? I would say 12 candy bars for 7.25 , its only a dollar more than 10 candy bars, but has 2 extra :}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the work she did it is correct right? like it defines the answer??

OpenStudy (destinymasha):

yes, it defines how much you would have to pay for each candy bar

OpenStudy (destinymasha):

however, option 2 is cheaper.......
