Answer to Problem 41MR
Super Power energy bar
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Feel great energy for 12 bars −
Super power energy for 15 bars −
Concept Used:
According to the chart given in the question, the cost of each bar is:
The price of each bar for the Fell Great brand is Equation:
The price for each bar for the Super power energy is
Calculation:
The price of each bar for the Fell Great brand is Equation:
The price of each bar for the Fell Great brand is $1.50
The price for each bar for the Super power energy is
The price of each bar for the Super power energy is $1.45
The price of each bar for the Fell Great brand is costly.
Adelina should buy the Super Power energy bar as it is less costly than the price of Fell Great Brand.
Thus, Adelina should buy the Super Power energy bar.
