Question

Nancy wants to buy some granola, which she eats for breakfast almost every day. Which is likely the most cost-effective option?. . A: buying a single pack. B: buying a pack of two . C: buying a pack of five

Answer 1

For this case, the first thing you should keep in mind is that:

1 week = 7 days

Assuming Nancy eats Granola from Monday to Friday, then we have Nancy eat granola 5 days a week.

Therefore, it is in Nancy's interest to buy granola in packs of 5.

So, Nancy can eat granola almost every day.

Answer:

the most cost-effective option is:

C: buying a pack of five

Answer 2

If Nancy wants to be prepared for long term then she will buy the pack of five to save more money. And if she wants to be prepared for a shorter period of time then she will buy the pack of two which may be a little less but will not last as long. But if Nancy is on a budget and can not afford to buy the long term or short term pack then she will buy the single pack. The most cost effective would be the pack of five because the price is reduced, the amount of packaging going to landfills is reduced, it eliminates the need for fancy packaging and single-use plastic. and it allows Nancy to buy the exact amount of what she wants.
