6 mugs for 6 dollars means 6 mugs / 6 dollars = 1 mug/dollar
Rate = no. of mugs/ total amount whosever rate is lowest is the best deal
12 mugs for 9 dollars means 12 mugs / 9 dollars = (4/3) mugs/dollar
or 9 mugs / 4.5 dollars = 2 mugs/dollar
so which is the best deal?
4.5/9=?
1 mug= 50 cents. hectors
