Question

At Store A, a 60-ounce bag of shelled walnuts costs $11.99. At Store B, a 4-pound bag of shelled walnuts costs $11.99. Shelled walnuts are a better deal at store

Answer 1

Answer:

Better deal at Store B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The key to understanding this problem lies in recognizing that 16 ox = 1 lb, which leads to 64 oz = 4 lb.

Find and compare the two unit costs:

Store A:  

$11.99

---------- = $0.20/oz

60 oz

Store B:

$11.99

------------ = $0.19/oz

64 oz

The 4-lb bag available at Store B has the lower unit cost and is a better deal there.
