You are at a grocery store and are trying to decide which box of popcorn you should buy. Pop Secret has 5 packets that costs $3.28. Jiffy Pop has 7 packets and costs $4.99. Which is the better deal? Show your work and explain your answer in complete sentences.

Pop Secret

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to know how much each packet costs for the two brands.

Divide the total cost by the number of packets.

3.28 divided by 5   =   .66

and

4.99 divided by 7    =   .71

So, the better deal is Pop Secret because their packets are .05 cheaper.

Another way to look at it,  if you were to buy 7 of the Pop Secret at .66 ea., you'd spend $4.60 compared to buying 7 of the Jiffy Pop (at .71 ea.) for $4.99 - a savings of .39.

46.2+112.3

step-by-step explanation:

3. (5x + 1) - (-10x + 6)

simplify the answer choice. combine like terms. remember to distribute the negative to the terms inside the second parenthesis. also remember that two negatives = one positive, and one of each sign = negative.

- (-10x + 6) = + 10x - 6

simplify. combine like terms:

5x + 1 + 10x - 6

5x + 10x + 1 - 6

15x - 5

∴ it is your answer
