Hannah Hexagonal Pyraminds and Lindsey Length love to shop! They went to two stores and compared the price of candy. At the Save-More Market, assorted candy is $3.95 per pound. At the Buy-Here Warehouse, the price is two pounds for $6.50. How would you convince Hannah and Lindsey of which store has the better buy?

  1. The "Buy-Here Warehouse is a better buy because at Save-more market is $3.95 for one pound and at the buy-here warehouse is $6.50 for two pounds than if they were to buy two pounds of candy at the save-more money store it would come out to $7.90 but at the buy-here warehouse is $6.50 for two pounds so the warehouse is $1.40 cents chepper! so the Buy-here warehouse is better to go to!!

  4. If they bought the candy deal from the buy-here warhouse they would be actually saving money because if they spent $3.95 four a pound and if they wonted to bye 2 pounds of that they would be spendding $7.50 when they could be spendding $6.50 at the buy-here warehouse
