Question

The table shows the price of bagels at two different stores:


Store Price Bagels

Bagel Stop $10.00 35 bagels

Yummy Bagels $5.00 18 bagels

Yummy Bagels sells bagels at a lower unit price than Bagel Stop. (3 points)


True

False

Answer 1

The correct answer is true.

In order to calculate the unit price of bagels for each of these stores, you need to divide the number of bagels by their cost.

For Bagel Stop:

Price of 35 bagels = $10

Price of one bagel = $10/35 = $0.28 or 28 cents

For Yummy Bagels:

Price of 18 bagels = $5

Price of one bagel = $5/18 =$ 0.27 or 27 cents

Therefore, the unit price of bagels from Yummy Bagels ($0.27) is lower than those of Bagel Stop($0.28) and so the statement is true.
