Question

Jack is looking to buy a soda at the store. He notices that a 20oz bottle of soda costs $1.20 and a 12 oz can of soda costs $0.85. He wants to get the best deal for his money. Find the unit rates to compare which deal is better per ounce.

Answer 1

Unit price = price / quantity

1.20 / 20 = 0.06 per ounce

0.85 / 12 = 0.071 per ounce

The better deal is the 20 oz for $1.20
