Melanie is shopping for work clothes. She has found a dress for $75 and a two-piece suit for only $60. She does not have enough money for both, so she must choose only one. Of course, both are “dry clean only.” If her dry cleaner charges $4.50 for a dress or $3 for each piece of a suit, which will be a better deal in the long run? How many times will she have to dry clean the purchased item before it is the better deal?
