Lesson Summary
When shopping, it is important to consider the price of items as well as their appearance, quality, freshness, or brand. In Lesson 1 you explored strategies for comparison shopping. As well, you investigated how retailers often price articles to enhance sales.
In this lesson you explored three questions:
How are unit prices calculated?
How do you determine the best buy if unit price, quality, and quantity are all factors you must consider?
How do retailers express the price of items they wish to promote?
Check your level of understanding of the materials covered in this lesson by completing “Lesson 1 Traffic Lights.”
If you select an amber or red traffic light in the multimedia piece, you will receive information about additional work you can complete to improve your understanding of the topics. Complete the suggested work before you proceed to the Lesson 1 Assignment. If you experience difficulty, contact your teacher before starting the Lesson 1 Assignment.
In this lesson you analyzed unit prices in both SI and imperial measures, as it is still common in Canada. You saw that meats and produce are advertised in price per pound, even though, at the cash register, the prices are quoted in metric measures.
