Question

Find the best buy of the following purchase:
Bhaskar buy 1 $\frac{1}{2}$ dozen of eggs for Rupees 81 and Aruna buy 15 eggs for Rupees 64.5?

• A. best buy of purchase by Bhaskar
• B. best buy of purchase by aruna
• C. Both A & B
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A best buy of purchase by Bhaskar

$\text{Bhaskar buy}1\frac{1}{2}\text{dozen(18) eggs =81 Rupees}$
$1\text{egg cost}=\frac{81}{18}$
= Rupees 4.5
Aruna buy 15 eggs = Rupees 81
$1\text{egg cost}=\frac{81}{15}$
= Rupees 5.4
If we compare cost of 1 egg than bhaskar will get best deal.
