Question

Show your work and explain how you can determine which is a better deal:

10 ounces of orange juice for $2.40 or 8 ounces for $2.08?​

Answer 1

Answer: 10 ounces for $2.40

Step-by-step explanation: The trick behind these problems, always divide. 2.40/10ounces is $0.24. 2.08/8ounces is $0.26. Better deal, therefore smaller answer of the 2, because it's cheaper.

Answer 2

10 ounces of orange juice for $2.40

each ounce of orange juice for 8 ounces is 0.26

each ounce of orange juice for the 10 ounces would only be 0.24

so you are getting 2 more ounces of orange juice for only 0.48
