Question

Which is the better unit price: $1.99 for a 3-ounce bottle or $2.49 for a 4-ounce bottle?

Answer 1

2.49

Explanation:

Answer 2

The second option, $2.49 for a 4-ounce bottle.

Explanation:

For the first option:

$1.99 for 3 ounces.

For 1 ounce,

`1.99 / 3 = 0.66333...`

For the second option:

$2.49 for 4 ounces.

For 1 ounce,

`2.49 / 4 = 0.6225`

Since 0.6225 is cheaper/less than 0.6633..., the second option is better as you can get one ounce at a cheaper rate.
