Question

A certain shampoo is available in two sizes. A 12.6 -ounce bottle costs $ 2.97 . B 22.8 -ounce bottle costs $ 4.97 . Find the unit price for each size. Then state which size is the better buy based on the unit price. Round your answers to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

A) $2.97 ÷ 12.6 = $0.24 for one ounce (unit price)
b) $4.97 ÷ 22.8 = $0.22 for one ounce (unit price)

then the better buy would just be the one that gives you more product for a lower price (b)
