Ben needs to buy orange juice. He can buy 64 fl oz at the grocery store for $2.00, or he can buy 256 fl oz at the wholesale club for $7.50.
Find the unit price for the grocery store orange juice. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.
Find the unit price for the wholesale club orange juice. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.
Where should Ben buy the orange juice if he wants the best deal? Explain.
Grocery Store Unit Price:
$2.00 / 64 fl oz = $0.03125 per fl oz
Wholesale Club Unit Price:
$7.50 / 256 fl oz = $0.02929 per fl oz
Ben should buy the orange juice at the wholesale club if he wants the best deal. The unit price for the orange juice at the wholesale club is lower than the unit price at the grocery store.
