Chrissy compared ice cream scoop prices at a local ice cream parlor:

- 2 scoops for $2.98
- 3 scoops for $3.69
- 4 scoops for $4.28

Which number of scoops has the best rate?

A. Two scoops for $2.98 is the best rate
B. Three scoops for $3.69 is the best rate
C. Four scoops for $4.28 is the best rate
D. All of the prices per scoop have the same rate

Answer :

To find the best rate for ice cream scoops, we need to divide the price by the number of scoops.

• 2 scoops for $2.98 = $1.49 per scoop • 3 scoops for $3.69 = $1.23 per scoop • 4 scoops for $4.28 = $1.07 per scoop

Therefore, three scoops for $3.69 is the best rate at $1.23 per scoop.
