Verison offers 1000 texts a month for $10. sprint offers 1200 texts a month for $15. which is a better deal? explain why.

If you want to know, which one is better than you need to compare their "Unit Values" as follows:

Version offers for $10 = 1000
so, for $1, it would be: 1000/10 = $100

Sprint offers for $15 = 1200
so, for $1, it would be: 1200/15 = $80

As version offers more in same price, so it is better than Sprints.

Hope this helps!

The Verizon offer would be a better deal. This is because 1,000 divided by 10 is 100, but 1,200 divided by 15 is 80, meaning you get 100 texts from Verizon for each dollar spent, in ratio form 100/1, on the other hand, you get only 80 texts from Sprint for each dollar spent, again, in ratio form 80/1. 100>80. Verizon has the better deal.

What you would do is round 47.6 to 48. You would then round 39.75 to 40. Then you add 48 & 40 to get 88.
