Ahmad needs to buy plastic spoons. brand a has a box of 24 spoons for $1.87. brand b has a box of 42 spoons for $2.87.
find the unit price for each brand. then state which brand is the better buy based on the unit price,
round your answers to the nearest cent.
unit price for the brand a spoons
for each spoon
unit price for the brand b spoons
for each spoon
the better buy:
brand a
brand b
neither (they have the same unit price)

brand A 7.79. 8 cent brand B 6.83 7 cent

Step-by-step explanation:

better buy brand B you get twice much and they are 1 cent cheaper

187÷24=7.79 /287÷42=6.83

-3

step-by-step explanation:

a drawing really does here:

so i draw the horizontal line y=2 and the vertical line x=-2 at this intersection i put b (this is where my right angle is going to be).   so point b is at (-2,2).   point a is 5 units long and is also on y=2 so this point has to be (3,2) or (-7,2) -doesn't matter i will go with (3,2).

now we know c is at (-2,y) we don't know the y yet bet we know that c is on x=-2.

we have the area of the triangle is .5bh=12.5

we know the base length is 5 (ab)

we have the height is (2-y) if you look at your

plug in

.5(5)(2-y)=12.5

solve for y to get the y-coordinate for c

2.5(2-y)=12.5

divide both sides by 2.5 giving:

2-y=5

now subtract 2 on both sides

-y=3

y=-3
