VAT19 has Super Gummy Bears for $30 (each Super Bear is equivalent to 1,400 Mini Bears).
The candy warehouse has 5 lb bags of mini gummy bears for $19.50. There are 145 mini gummi bears per pound (yep- that’s a unit rate!).

Which shop has the better deal if you want to get the most gummy bear for your money?
Challenge: After you figure out which shop is cheaper... How much will it cost to buy the same amount of gummy bear at the more expensive shop?
The super gummy bear because you would have to buy 10 packs of the other one to become about equivalent to the super gummy bear, and that would cost over $190.
ReplyDeleteThe answer for the first question is that VAT19 has a better deal. I got to this by dividing the cost by the amount of gummies. Candy Warehouse: 19.50/725=(About)0.027 & VAT19: 30.00/1,400=(About)0.021. CANDY WAREHOUSE 0.027>0.021 VAT19.
ReplyDeleteThe answer to the second question is it would cost (About) $37.80 for the CANDY WAREHOUSE to buy a super gummy/ 1,400 mini gummies. I got this buy multiplying 1,400, the amount of gummies, by 0.027, the cost for a gummy in CANDY WAREHOUSE.
