F. 1
G. 2
H. 3
J. 4
K. 5
Solution
Correct answer: H. 3.
Here's the breakdown of the prices per store:
Store 1: $7 each
Store 2: $14.99 for 2
Store 3: $20.95 for 3
Store 4: $41.95 for 6
Store 5: Buy 2 for $21.10, get 1 free
To determine the cheapest option for 6 shirts, we can calculate the price per shirt for stores 1, 2, 3 and 5.
Store 1: $7 each
Store 2: $14.99 for 2, so each shirt costs $7.49
Store 3: $20.95 for 3, so each shirt costs $6.98
Store 5: It is difficult to determine the exact price per shirt in Store 5 since you need to buy 2 and get 1 free.
Although Store 5 offers a deal, it isn't possible to buy exactly 6 shirts. Therefore, Store 4 with a price of $41.95 for 6 T-shirts is the cheapest option.
