Shannon is shopping for peanut butter at the grocery store. which option is the lowest price? table showing prices and incentives for different brands - first column brand, second column regular price, third column incentive. first row brand store brand, regular price 2 dollars and 99 cents, incentive none. second row brand brand 1, regular price 3 dollars and 87 cents, incentive on sale for 25 percent off. third row brand brand 2, regular price 3 dollars and 45 cents, incentive 60 cents off coupon. a. store brand b. brand 1 c. brand 2

In given table we see the price of peanut buttor from three different brands. Some incentive or you can say discount is given too. So we need to calculate final selling price of peanut buttor from each brand before we can decide which one has lowest price.

Calculation for brand 1:

Regular price = $3.87

incentive = 25% of $3.87 = 0.25* 3.87 = 0.9675

Final selling price = 3.87-0.9675 = $2.9025

Calculation for brand 2:

Regular price = $3.45

incentive = 60 cents = $0.60

Final selling price = 3.45-0.60 = $2.85

From the table we can see that $2.85 is lowest selling price which is from Brand2.

Hence choice C. Brand2 is correct answer.

it's equivalent, so we can say that its equal.

let's call the denominator x and the numerador is 18 less then denominator, x - 18.

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30

so:

because they could drop even lower..
