Question

The Hendersons are hosting a barbecue for five people and want to purchase enough chicken for everyone to have two pieces. Which option makes the most financial sense? 10 individual chicken breasts at $3 each 5 two-packs of chicken breasts at $5 each a 12-pack bag of chicken at $20 a 20-pack bag of chicken at $35

Answer 1

the best option to choose is option C.

This is because it has the least cost and the number of pieces is more than the needed.

Answer 2

The number of people is five and the plan is for each of them to have two pieces of chicken.

For option A:
Total cost = 10*3 = $30
Number of pieces = 10
For option B:
Total cost = 5*5 = $25
Number of pieces = 10
For option C:
Total cost = $20
Number of pieces = 12
For option D:
Total cost = $35
Number of pieces = 20

From the above, the best option to choose is option C.
This is because it has the least cost and the number of pieces is more than the needed.
