    A shoe store was having a sale where 2 pairs of Brand A shoes cost $23.10 and 3 pairs of Brand B shoes cost $35.85. Which brand is the better buy?

    Using our better buy calculator:

    Calculate Unit Price
    Unit Price = Price/Quantity

    Calculate Unit Price 1:
    Unit Price Brand A = P1/Q1

    Unit Price Brand A = 23.10/2

    Unit Price Brand A = 11.55

    Calculate Unit Price 2:
    Unit Price Brand B = P2/Q2

    Unit Price Brand B = 35.85/3

    Unit Price Brand B = 11.95

    Since Brand A's Unit price is lower, Brand A is the better buy
