Benny and Kiara each sell comic books.

• Benny sells 8 comic books for $6.00.

• Kiara sells 10 comic books for $7.00.

Which statement correctly explains who sells comic books at a lower unit rate?

A

Benny sells comic books at a lower unit rate because $6.00 is less than $7.00.

B

Benny sells comic books at a lower unit rate because 8:6=1.33 is less than 10:7=1.43.

C

Kiara sells comic books at a lower rate because Benny's 8 comic books would sell for less than $6.00 if he sold them at the same rate as Kiara.

D

Kiara sells comic books at a lower rate because the difference between the price for which Kiara sells 10 comic books and the price for which Benny sells 8 comic books is less than $2.00.
