Question

You want to buy some noodles. There are 3 options; 1 a 6-ounce package cost 1.86, 2 a 14-ounce package cost 4.20, 3 a 26-ounce package cost 7.54. Which package is the best to buy?

Answer 1

Answer: 3rd option

Explanation:

A 6-ounce package cost 1.86. The cost per ounce will be:

= 1.86 / 6

= 0.31

A 14-ounce package cost 4.20. The cost per ounce will be:

= 4.20 / 14

= 0.30

A 26-ounce package cost 7.54. The coat per ounce will be:

= 7.54 / 26

= 0.29

The best package to buy is the 3rd option since it's cheaper.
