The second option saves time and cleaning elements, so that one is better.
<h3>Which option is better?</h3>
We know that every day you sell a total of 50 bowls, and each one needs 8 oz of onion, this means that you need:
50*8 oz = 400 oz
So you need 400 ounces of onion per day.
If you buy at $1.99 per pound (1 lb = 16 oz)
Then the cost per ounce is:
c = $1.99/16
And the cost of 400 ounces is:
C = ($1.99/16)*400 = $49.75
In the case of the pre-sliced onions, the total cost would be:
C' = ($2.99/16)*400 = $74.75
So in the first case, each portion costs:
$49.75/50 = $0.995
And in the second case:
$74.75/50 =$1.495
So the extra cost is returned by the extra time and savings in cleaning elements, thus, the second option is better.
