Answer 1

Answer:

B. Brand A $0.21

Step-by-step explanation:

                                    (round to nearest cent)

Brand A: 21.99/105 = .2094 = .21 ( .2094 rounds to .21)

Brand B: 17.99/80 = .2248 = .22    ( .2248 rounds to .22)

Therefore Brand A is a better buy for $0.21 per load

Answer 2

B. Brand A 0.21 is the better buy
