In order to find the price per bar, we divide the price by the amount of bars. For the first one:
15.37/10 = $1.54 per bar
The second package:
15.35/12 = $1.28 per bar.
The 10-pack costs $1.54 per bar and the 12-pack costs $1.28 per bar. The 12-pack has the better price per bar.
Now, let's look at the price per ounce. We do this in a similar way. We find the total amount of ounces in the package, and divide the price by the number of ounces.
In the first package, we multiply 10*2.1=21. We have 21 ounces in the first package. Now we divide 15.37/21. In the first package, we have 0.73 dollars per ounce.
Now, let's look at the second package. We start by multiplying 1.4*12=16.8. There are 16.8 ounces in the package. Now, we divide 15.35/16.8=0.91. So, in the second package, we have 0.91 dollars per ounce.
The cost per ounce of the 10-pack is $0.73 and the cost per ounce of the 12-pack is $0.91. The first package has the better price per ounce.
The better explanation is the second one, because I prefer the lower price per ounce, I think that the 1st pack is the better buy.

Answer:
D. 3 to 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio ...
blueberries : strawberries = (1/2) : (2/3)
can be changed to a ratio of integer by multiplying by the least common denominator: 6.
= 6(1/2) : 6(2/3) = 3 : 4

<u>Modeling With Functions</u>
It's a common practice to try to mathematically represent the relation between two or more variables. It allows us to better understand the behavior of the phenomena being observed and, more importantly, to be able to predict future values.
The specific situation stated in the question relates how Taylor buys nail polish for $3.95 each, with a maximum of $30 to spend. If x is the number of nail polish purchased, then the total cost will be
But we know Taylor has a limited budget of $30, so the total cost cannot exceed that amount
Solving the inequality for x
We round down to
Of course, the lower limit of x is 0, because Taylor cannot purchase negative quantities of nail polish
Our model is now complete if the state the limits of x, or its domain
