Question

6. A coupon offers $1.00 off the 16-ounce size. Which size is the better buy then?

Answer 1

Answer:

Both sizes are better because they cost Same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

A coupon offers $1.00 off the 16

            Quantity     Price

Pint           16           $3.98

Quart        32           $5.98

If he gets $1 off for the 16-ounce size. The price will be:

3.98-1=2.98

He needs to pay $2.98 for 16-ounce pint.

Now find which one is better by calculating the unit rate.

$\frac{Cost}{weight}=\frac{2.98 }{16}\approx0.186$

Therefore, the cost of 1lb would be $0.186

For Quart 32 find the unit rate as shown:

$\frac{Cost}{weight}=\frac{5.98}{32}\approx0.186$

Therefore, the cost of 1lb would be $0.186

Hence, both of the size are better as the unit rate is same.
