Question

You need to buy 12 pounds of chicken for a barbecue that you are planning. You found an ad in the Northwest Florida Daily News that said that chicken is on sale at the Fresh Market in Destin for $2.99 per pound. Typicallyyou buy your chicken at the Publix by your house for $8.99 per pound. Is it worth the drive if I live in Destin?

Answer 1

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference in the cost per pound is $6.

For 12 lb, the total difference in $6 × 12 = $72.

If the Fresh Market is close enough and you have the time, it is worth the drive since you will save $72.
