Question

A box of cereal can be purchased in the large size, which is 15 ounces for $3.64, or the family size, which is 24 ounces for $4.84. Which size box of cereal has the lowest price per ounce, and what is the amount?
Large size at $0.24 per ounce
Large size at $0.20 per ounce
Family size at $0.24 per ounce
Family size at $0.20 per ounce

Answer 1

Family size at $0.20 per ounce is our correct answer.

Given,

Large size = 15 ounces for $3.64.

Family size = 24 ounces for $4.84.

We need to find which size box of cereal has the lowest price per ounce, and what is the amount.

Find the amount of one ounce for the large size.

We have,

15 ounces = $3.64.

Divide both sides by 15.

1 ounce = $3.64 / 15

1 ounce = $0.24

Find the amount of one ounce for the family size.

We have,

24 ounces = $4.84.

Divide by 24 into both sides.

1 ounce = $4.84 / 24

1 ounce = $0.20

Find the lowest price per ounce.

We have,

Large size:

1 ounce = $0.24

Family size:

1 ounce = $0.20

We see that the family-size box of cereals is the lowest per ounce.

Thus Family size at $0.20 per ounce is our correct answer.
