Monica suggests that the larger size is usually a better buy. Lori is using a(n) "algorithm" ; Monica, a(n) "heuristic".

Lori's technique is requesting or demanding, however ensured to disclose to her which can is the better purchase. Monica's strategy is brisk and simple, however it may not yield the right answer.
