If one store is selling 3/4 of a bushel of apples for $9, and another store is selling 2/3 of a bushel for $9, which store has the better deal? Explain you answer
A. 3/4 (75%) 3/4
B 2/3 (66%)
To determine the amount you need to convert the fraction into a decimal by dividing the top number by the bottom and getting a decimal .75 . This decimal is also a percentage .75 = 75
The better choice is A because 75% of a bushel is significantly more than 66% of a bushel 9% for the same price.
