Erin needed to buy some cat food for her cat , Sneakers. The price for 5 cans was $1.55 and the price for 3 cans was $0.99. What was the unit price of each item? Which was the better bargain?

The 5 cans for $1.55 is a better bargain because the unit price for these cans is  $0.31, while the unit price for the other is $0.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit price tells you the cost per liter, per kilogram, per pound, etc, of what you want to buy. So for this problem you want to figure out how much each can is worth and which is the better deal.

You would do $1.55 ÷ 5 = 0.31 cents per can

The other equation would be $0.99 ÷ 3 = 0.33 cents per can

So the better bargain is the 5 cans for $1.55

x/3-10=8

x/3=18

x=48

168

step-by-step explanation:

i am pretty sure that the answer is 168
