Question

you want to buy some beans . a 6 - ounce package costs $2.16 . a 15 - ounce package costs $5.55 . a 26 - ounce package costs $9.10 . which package is the best buy

Answer 1

The 36 ounce package!!!!

Answer 2

26-ounce package

Explanation:

Divide the cost for a 6-ounce and a 15-ounce package separately by the number of ounces listed above. 1 ounce for a 6-ounce package costs around $0.36 and 1 ounce for a 15-ounce package cost around $0.37. If we put the 26-ounce package in place, then each ounce cost $0.35. We want to buy the one that is the cheapest out of all of them and since the 26-ounce package cost more cheaper than the other packages, then you should buy the 26-ounce package since it is the best deal.
