0.833... is a repeating decimal
Money is usually written with two decimal places, so we can round 0.8333... to 0.83
To get 2 decimal places in 0.7, we add a trailing 0.
$0.83 is the same as 83 cents
$0.83/cupcake and $0.70/cupcake are unit rates.
'>' means greater than, and the smaller unit rate is the better deal!
