Alina Meadows · Answer 2

Brand B is the BEST buy.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the cheapest Brand we will find the price of one bandaid of each brand.

Brand A : 20 for $2.5 ⇒ $0.125 for one bandaid.

Brand B : 35 for $3.25 ⇒ $0.093 for one bandaid

Brand C : 50 for $5.25 ⇒ $0.105 for one bandaid

Brand D : 100 for $10 ⇒ $0.100 for one bandaid

So the best price to purchase will be Brand B.
