Answer 1

For this case we must find the unit cost of juice box of each option and compare:

Option A: 2 juice boxes for $ 0.66

$\frac {0.66} {2} = 0.33 \frac {dollars} {box}$

Option B: 6 juice boxes for $ 1.92

$\frac {1.92} {6} = 0.32 \frac {dollars} {box}$

Option C: 9 juice boxes for $ 2.97

$\frac {2.97} {9} = 0.33 \frac {dollars} {box}$

Option D: 12 juice boxes for $ 4.20

$\frac {4.20} {12} = 0.35 \frac {dollars} {box}$

The most feasible option is B. That is, buy 6 boxes for $1.92

Option B
