Answer:

5 bars of soap for $4.00 is the better deal.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two offers on soap.

12 bars of soap for $10.00

and 5 bars of soap for $4.00

Since 12 bars of soap for $10.00

Unit price of bar of soap = [tex]\frac{10}{12}[/tex]

                                         = $0.833 per bar

When 5 bars of soap for $4.00

Unit price of bar of soap = [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex]

                                         = $0.8 per bar

Difference between the unit price = 0.833 - 0.8 = $0.033

Therefore, 5 bars of soap for $4.00 is the better deal.
