Question

Which is the better buy? Explain.

Answer 1

The 16 ounce box is a better deal because it shows .34 cents per ounce while the other is .36 cents per ounce

Answer 2

For this problem, you have to find out how much each cereal costs per ounce. So you must divide each price by the amount of cereal you get and compare:
$4.08/16oz=$0.255/oz

Can you find the unit price ($/oz) of the remaining 2? You will then compare. The lowest value is the best buy!
