# Written teacher read-aloud · Day 68

Compare the same amount

Let's make a plan someone can use. Offer A is six blank pens for a pretend $18. Offer B is four blank pens for a pretend $16. Exactly 12 pens are required; whole packs only. What do we know? What are we trying to find? Make marks, move paper pieces, point, sign, talk or type. Give the quantities their own labels before you calculate. Here is one worked example: 2 × $18 = $36; 3 × $16 = $48. Both plans provide exactly 12 pens. Offer A costs $36, which is $12 less. Its unit cost is $3 per pen; B is $4 per pen. Now look back at the brief. Does our answer count the right thing and meet the supplied conditions? When a cheaper ticket price buys a smaller pack, it may cost more to buy the same quantity. Ask the learner to show the quantity and money totals side by side. Take your time. Choose one of today's new briefs and make your own plan. A different correct strategy is welcome. Explain one check and one useful conclusion.
