Find the best buy on cashews (1 lb is 16 oz).
A) 1 lb for $6.09 B) 10 oz for $4.59 C) 1 lb 4 oz for $7.09 D) 12 oz for $5.09
16/6.09 = ?
10/4.59 = ?
16/7.09 = ?
12/5.09 = ?
16/6.09=2.63
10/4.59=2.17 ( the Best buy )
16/7.09=2.25
12/5.09=2.35
To find the best buy on cashews, we need to compare the price per ounce for each option.
Option A:
1 lb = 16 oz
Price per ounce = $6.09 / 16 = $0.38/oz
Option B:
Price per ounce = $4.59 / 10 = $0.46/oz
Option C:
1 lb 4 oz = (16 oz + 4 oz) = 20 oz
Price per ounce = $7.09 / 20 = $0.35/oz
Option D:
Price per ounce = $5.09 / 12 = $0.42/oz
From the calculations, we can see that Option C (1 lb 4 oz for $7.09) has the lowest price per ounce at $0.35/oz. Therefore, Option C is the best buy for cashews.
