TheM-Ounce package of beans IS the best

Answer 1

15-ounce package is the best buy.

Explanation:

In order to find the best-buy we have to calculate the price per ounce.

So,

For 7-ounce package:

Price =2.45$

Unit price for 7-ounce:

`(2.45)/(7) = 0.35\$`

For 15-ounce Package:

Price: $4.95

Unit price for 15-ounce:

`(4.95)/(15) = 0.33\$`

For 26-ounce Package:

Price: $8.84

Unit price for 26-ounce:

`(8.84)/(26) = 0.34\$`

As we can see that the least unit price is for 15 ounce pack i.e. 0.33 per ounce so,

15-ounce package is the best buy.
