Question

Find the unit price A) $3.49 180g (6.3 oz)B) $1.79 8.5 (3 oz)which is the better buy

Answer 1

A) $0.0194 per g

B) $0.21059 per g

the better buy is A

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first find the unit price, meaning the price per gram.

For option A, we have

`(\$3.49)/(180g)`

`$\$0.0194/g$`

For option B, we have

`(\$1.79)/(8.5g)`
`=$\$0.21059$/g`

Now, comparing the prices, we see that option A costs less per gram than option B. Therefore, the better buy is option A.
