Answer 1

B. Because you get the best bang for your buck. 18 ounces for $2.79 is only $0.15 per ounce which is better than the rest of them

Answer 2

Option B. Grandma's peanut butter.

Explanation:

Tito wants to buy some peanut butter to donate as much as possible.

There some brands are given with their price.

we will calculate the price of per ounce peanut butter of each brand.

A. Nutty : 12 ounces for $2.19

cost per ounce =
`(2.19)/(12)`

= $0.1825 ≈ $0.18 per ounce

B. Grandma's : 18 ounces for $2.79

cost per ounce =
`(2.79)/(18)`

= $0.155 ≈ $0.16 per ounce

C. Bee's : 0.28 ounces for $4.69

cost per ounce =
`(4.69)/(0.28)`

= $16.75 per ounce

D. Save-A-Lot : 40 ounces for $6.60

cost per ounce =
`(6.60)/(40)`

= $0.165 ≈ $0.17 per ounce

The lowest price is $0.16 per ounce. So he should buy Grandma's peanut butter.

Option B is the answer.
