Q. At their school's craft fair, Diego and Rachel are both selling homemade bars of soap. So far, Diego has sold 1818 bars of soap and has earned $31.50\$31.50. Rachel has sold 2020 bars of soap and has earned $34.00\$34.00. Who is offering the better bargain?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)Diego\newline(B)Rachel
  1. Calculate Diego's Price: Calculate the price per bar for Diego:\newline● Total earnings = $31.50\$31.50\newline● Bars sold = 1818\newlinePrice per bar = Total earnings ÷ Bars sold\newlinePrice per bar = $31.50/18\$31.50 / 18
  2. Calculate Rachel's Price: Calculate the price per bar for Rachel:\newline● Total earnings = $34.00\$34.00\newline● Bars sold = 2020\newlinePrice per bar = Total earnings ÷ Bars sold\newlinePrice per bar = $34.00/20\$34.00 / 20
  3. Compare Bargains: Compare the prices per bar to determine who offers the better bargain:\newline● Diego's price per bar = $1.75\$1.75\newline● Rachel's price per bar = $1.70\$1.70
