Part A Tim wants to buy three pairs of jeans. He compares the prices at a store in his neighborhood and at an online store. He finds that a pair of jeans costs $24 at the local store. If he buys online, each pair would cost $22, and he would have to pay a shipping fee of $6 per order.
Part B Look at the table that represents the local store. For each row in the table, find the ratio of the number of pairs of jeans to the cost of the jeans.
Part C Are the ratios that you calculated in part B equivalent? Based on these ratios, what can you conclude about the relationship between the number of pairs of jeans that Tim buys at the local store and the cost?
Part D Next, look at the table that represents the online store. For each row in the table, find the ratio of the number of pairs of jeans to the cost of the jeans.
Part E Are the ratios that you calculated in part D equivalent? Based on these ratios, what can you conclude about the relationship between the number of pairs of jeans that Tim buys at the online store and the cost?
Part F The local store where Tim shops charges a 7% sales tax for clothing. Complete the table by figuring the cost of the jeans after sales tax is applied. The first row has been done for you.
Part G From part F, find the ratio of the number of pairs of jeans to the cost with sales tax for each row in the table. Part H Are the ratios that you calculated in part G equivalent? Show your work to support your answer. What does this tell you about the relationship between the number of pairs of jeans and the cost with sales tax applied?
add 24, 22, and 6. for the ratio see if they all match up to the prices to the number of pairs of jeans. then just look at ur table for jeans and see which one has the greatest value. by equivalent it means are they the same as the one that is greatesst on table D and see if any of them are equivalent to the one you chose for E. for F all you would have to do is divide the number in A by 7. then just look at ur previous tables and find ur ratio
