Question

A shop sells cereal in boxes A, B and C. Box A 500 g for $1.73 Box B 750 g for $2.60 Box C 1.25 kg for $4.35. which box is the best value?​

Answer 1

Box C

Explanation:

First switch the box that's in kilograms into grams. One kilogram=1000 grams. So box C is 1250 grams.

Next divide the amount in each box by the cost of each box.

Box A 500/173=2.89

Box B 750/260=2.88

Box C 1250/435=2.87

So, since box C has the lowest amount when divided, that box has the best value.
