A bakery sells 6 croissants for $8.40. and 4 bagels for $5. Determine the unit price for both items and identify the better deal.
To find the unit price for each item, we divide the total price by the quantity:
Croissants:
Unit price = $8.40 / 6 = $1.40
Bagels:
Unit price = $5 / 4 = $1.25
To determine the better deal, we compare the unit prices of both items. In this case, the bagels have a lower unit price making them the better deal.
