Dean is comparing prices on ground beef. Store A is selling 5 pounds of ground beef for $23.49. Store B is selling 8 pounds of ground beef for $36.96. Which store is offering the better deal on ground beef? Show work

Store B

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to set up an equation for each store

Store A  (you have 5 pounds of something sold at $x per pound. which together totals $23.49)

Store B (you have 8 pounds of something sold at $x per pound. which together totals $36.96)

Then you want to isolate the x for each equation to find the price per pound. You do this by diving each total cost, by how many pounds that you get.

Store A: $23.49/5 pounds= $4.698

Store B: $36.96/ 8 pounds = $4.62

This gives you a price per pound, so B is the correct answer because B is $0.07 cheaper per pound, giving you the better deal.

total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $98

cost of 3 shirts if one cost at $8.50 is

cost of 2 dresses if one cost at $27.50 is
