    Strand: Number
    Topic: Money Transactions (Best buy)

    By the end of this worksheet, you will be able to:


     Identify the “best buy” for items given different cost options.

    Key Points:
     The best buy is the cheapest unit cost or the least amount of money
    that is paid for an item or a set of similar items.

     When you are asked to calculate the best buy, you are usually given
    different bargains to compare.

     The best buy option is the one that has the cheapest price for one item
    or one unit of measurement.

     The cost of one item is calculated by dividing the total price by the
    number of items in the group or set.

    Resources: It is advised that you view the video on the link below to enrich
    your understanding of concept of best buy.

    just like money since they have two decimal places.

    WORKED EXAMPLES
    Example 1
    Dollar Saver Supermarket is selling potatoes at $24.32 for 4 kilograms while Price
    Cutters Supermarket is selling similar potatoes at $19.80 for 3 kilograms. At which
    supermarket will you get the best buy?
    Dollar Saver Supermarket Price Cutters Supermarket

    The cost of 1 kilogram of potatoes at Dollar Saver Supermarket is $6.08.


    The cost of 1 kilogram of potatoes at Price Cutters Supermarket is $6.60. 6.60
    The best buy is at Dollar Saver Supermarket - 6.08
    since the cost of 1 kg of potatoes is 52ȼ less. 0.52

    Example 2 Which store has the best buy?

    Store A
    Store B
    $30.00 per dozen
    $22.50 for 10

    Store B has the


    cheapest unit price,
    therefore the best
    buy!
