A certain brand of coffee comes in two sizes. An 11.5 -ounce package costs $4.24 . A 27.8-ounce package costs $9.98
Find the unit price for each size. Then state which size is the better buy based on the unit price.
Round your answers to the nearest cent.
To find the unit price, divide the price by the number of ounces:
Unit price for 11.5-ounce package: $4.24 ÷ 11.5 = $0.37 per ounce
Unit price for 27.8-ounce package: $9.98 ÷ 27.8 = $0.36 per ounce
Therefore, the 27.8-ounce package is the better buy based on the unit price.
