If one store is selling 3/4 of a bushel of apples for $9 and another story selling 2/3 of a bushel of apples for $9 which store has the better deal. ***i know the answer is calculate the $ amount first. 9 divided 3/4 total $12 9 divided 2/3 total $13.50 better deal 3/4 is but my question is how can identify when is division or multiplication? ? i was doing multiplication but it did not division this time?

For this case we have,

3/4 of a bushel of apples -----------------------> $ 9

1 bushel of apples -------------------------------> x

From here the value of x is cleared, resulting in:

2/3 of a bushel of apples -----------------------> $ 9

1 bushel of apples -------------------------------> x

From here the value of x is cleared, resulting in:

Therefore it is convenient to buy apples in store 1 because it is cheaper.

It is convenient to buy apples in store 1 because it is cheaper. A division must be made for each case because you want to find the unit cost of a product having the total cost and the amount in fraction.

(x+3)(x+7)
