Given:
Cereal A, 10 oz. box for $5.90
Cereal B, 24 oz. box for $ 6.48
Find the price per unit for each item then determine which is the best cereal to buy.
Solution:
In order to find the price per unit, we divide the total price by the quantity in oz.
Cereal A
= $5.90/10oz
= $0.59/oz
Cereal B
= $6.48/24 oz
=$0.27/oz
The best cereal to buy is cereal B, since it contains a much larger quantity than cereal A,and it also cost less in terms of price per unit oz.
