Grade 6 · The Market Year · Week 22

Bundles

Two for a price is a discount wearing a disguise. Work out what is under it.

This game goes with week 22 of the workbook. Do the page first; the game is for seeing the numbers move. Nothing you type is kept.

Work out the bundle

Row a is done: $1.50 each, or 2 for $2.50, which is $1.25 each. At a cost of $0.50 the deal makes $1.50.

Row b: one is $2.00, 3 for $5.00, cost $0.90 each

Row c: one is $0.80, 4 for $2.40, cost $0.30 each

Row d: one is $3.00, 2 for $5.00, cost $2.10 each

One bundle makes less than a single sale does. Which?

Design your own

One for $ , or for $ , each costing $ .

Each in the bundle: $1.25. Margin on the deal: $1.50.

Margin
One full-price sale$1.00
2 full-price sales$2.00
The bundle$1.50

Better than one sale and worse than 2 full-price ones. It works if it turned one sale into 2.
