Question

A 16 oz package of brown rice cost 79cents and 32oz package of white rice costs $3.49 which package is a better deal

Answer 1

0.79 / 16 oz = 0.049 ( price for 1 oz of brown rice)

3.49 / 32 = 0.109 ( price for 1 oz of white rice)

 the price per oz of brown rice is cheaper then 1 oz of white rice so the brown rice is the better deal
