To find the best buy on cashews, we need to determine the price per ounce for each option:
Option A:
1 lb for $6.09
There are 16 oz in 1 lb, so the price per ounce is $6.09 / 16 oz = $0.38125 per oz.
Option B:
10 oz for $4.59
The price per ounce is $4.59 / 10 oz = $0.459 per oz.
Option C:
1 lb 4 oz for $7.09
There are 16 oz in 1 lb, and we have an extra 4 oz, so a total of 16 oz + 4 oz = 20 oz.
The price per ounce is $7.09 / 20 oz = $0.3545 per oz.
Option D:
12 oz for $5.09
The price per ounce is $5.09 / 12 oz = $0.4242 per oz.
Based on the calculations, the best buy on cashews is Option C: 1 lb 4 oz for $7.09, with a price per ounce of $0.3545.
