Ferroza can buy a 24 ounce bag of ferret food for 1.19 or she can buy a 36 ounce bag for 2.89. which is the better deal?

Assuming that the two packaging contain the same food, then

24oz bag costs 1.19/24 = 0.05 /oz
36oz bag costs 2.89/36 = 0.08 / oz

So bigger packaging does not have to be cheaper.

In the supermarket, this is what I would do:
24oz costs 1.19
36oz is 50% more, 50% more of 1.19 is about 1.80 (< 2.89), so the unit price of the 36oz bag costs more.

Idk help!!

3-5, 5-3, are they equal or not? Cant they cancel out?

diamond problem 8 on one side and -8 on the other

To determine the better deal, we need to compare the cost per ounce for each bag of ferret food.

For the 24 ounce bag, the price is $1.19. So, we can find the price per ounce by dividing the total price ($1.19) by the number of ounces (24):
Price per ounce = $1.19 / 24 = $0.0496 (rounded to four decimal places)

For the 36 ounce bag, the price is $2.89. Similarly, we can find the price per ounce by dividing the total price ($2.89) by the number of ounces (36):
Price per ounce = $2.89 / 36 = $0.0803 (rounded to four decimal places)

Comparing the two prices per ounce, we can see that the 24 ounce bag has a lower price per ounce ($0.0496) compared to the 36 ounce bag ($0.0803).

Therefore, the 24 ounce bag is the better deal because it has a lower cost per ounce.
