Question

A 16 oz package of brown rice costs 79 cents and 32 oz package of white rice costs $3.99. Which package is a better deal

Answer 1

First off,we can find out how much an oz cost for each package:

Package of brown rice:
0.79÷16
=$0.049375
≈$0.049

Package of white rice:
3.99÷32
=$0.1246875

Price of brown rice:$0.049 < price of white rice:$0.125

Therefore,brown rice is a better deal as it is cheaper.

Hope it helps!
