Caitlyn and 3 friends are holding a bake sale to raise money for a local charity. Each friend has suggested a different rate to charge per item sold. In order to raise enough money for the charity, Caitlyn and her friends know they need to make more than $1.50 per item sold. Which friends have suggested an appropriate rate? Choose two that apply.
Friend Amount Charged
Caitlyn $30 for 24 items
Meredith $12 for 5 items
Stephanie $19 for 12 items
Brooke $4 for 3 items
Well, it seems like Caitlyn is charging $1.25 per item, which is less than the desired $1.50. Meredith, on the other hand, is charging $2.40 per item, which is more than the desired amount. Stephanie is charging $1.58 per item, which is very close to the desired amount. Lastly, Brooke is charging $1.33 per item, which is also less than the desired amount.
So, the two friends who have suggested an appropriate rate are Stephanie and Meredith. However, I must warn you, if you choose Meredith, you might have to face some angry customers who think her prices are a bit too high. But hey, it's for charity, so maybe they'll let it slide. Good luck with your bake sale!
To determine which friends have suggested an appropriate rate, we need to calculate the amount charged per item for each friend and check if it is more than $1.50.
Friend Caitlyn charges $30 for 24 items: $30 / 24 items = $1.25 per item.
Friend Meredith charges $12 for 5 items: $12 / 5 items = $2.40 per item.
Friend Stephanie charges $19 for 12 items: $19 / 12 items = $1.58 per item.
Friend Brooke charges $4 for 3 items: $4 / 3 items = $1.33 per item.
Based on the calculations, Stephanie and Meredith have suggested an appropriate rate because their rates are more than $1.50 per item.
To determine which friends have suggested an appropriate rate, we need to calculate how much money they would each make per item sold.
For Caitlyn: She charges $30 for 24 items, so we can divide $30 by 24 to find out how much she makes per item.
$30 / 24 = $1.25 per item
For Meredith: She charges $12 for 5 items, so we can divide $12 by 5 to find out how much she makes per item.
$12 / 5 = $2.40 per item
For Stephanie: She charges $19 for 12 items, so we can divide $19 by 12 to find out how much she makes per item.
$19 / 12 = $1.58 per item
For Brooke: She charges $4 for 3 items, so we can divide $4 by 3 to find out how much she makes per item.
$4 / 3 = $1.33 per item
Based on the information given, Caitlyn and Brooke have suggested rates that are below $1.50 per item. Thus, they are the friends who have suggested an appropriate rate.
