Answer:
Brand A is the better buy with unit rate $4/cup.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Brand A 33 fluid ounce bottle = $16.50
Brand B 1 cup = $4.80
We need to find the unit cost and find which is the better buy.
Solution:
For Brand A;
33 fluid ounce = $16.50
1 fluid ounce = Cost for 1 fluid ounce
By using Unitary method we get;
Cost for 1 fluid ounce =
Now we know that;
1 cup = 8 fluid ounce.
1 fluid ounce = $0.5
8 fluid ounce = Cost for 8 fluid ounce of olive oil.
Again By using Unitary method we get;
Cost for 8 fluid ounce of olive oil =
Hence Brand A 1 cup of olive oil cost $4.
For Brand B;
Given:
1 cup of olive oil =$4.80
Hence Brand B 1 cup of olive oil cost $4.8.
By Comparing both brands we can see that per unit cost of Brand A is less than Brand B.
Hence Brand A is the better buy.
