Luke was out of cereal for breakfast. He walked to the grocery store to buy his favorite, Honey Nut Cheerios. While looking at the cereal, he noticed all the different box sizes and different prices. A giant "Family Size" box contained 14.7 oz and cost $5.99. A small, individual size contained 1.5 oz and cost $1.89. He wanted to get the most "bang for his buck." Which choice is the better buy? In other words, which choice is cheaper per ounce? Which one should he buy and why?

Answer:

Explanation:

I had to find how much it is per ounce and for the small box it cost $1.25 per ounce and for the family size it cost $0.41 which is less than $1.25 so the answer would be the family size of Honey Nut Cheerios
