Question

Which is a better buy?

2-cup carton of frozen yogurt for $0.80

2-quart carton of frozen yogurt of $5.52

Answer 1

Explanation:

To determine which option is a better buy, we need to compare the price per unit (in this case, the price per cup) of the two options.

For the 2-cup carton of frozen yogurt that costs $0.80, the price per cup can be calculated as:

$0.80 / 2 cups = $0.40 per cup

For the 2-quart carton of frozen yogurt that costs $5.52, we first need to convert quarts to cups. There are 4 cups in a quart, so a 2-quart carton contains:

2 quarts x 4 cups per quart = 8 cups

The price per cup can then be calculated as:

$5.52 / 8 cups = $0.69 per cup

Therefore, the 2-cup carton of frozen yogurt for $0.80 is a better buy, as the price per cup is lower at $0.40, compared to $0.69 per cup for the 2-quart carton.

Answer 2

2-cup carton of frozen yogurt for $0.80

Explanation:

We know

2-cup carton of frozen yogurt for $0.80

1 cup = 0.25 quart

2 cups = 0.50 quart

0.80 / 0.50 = $1.60 per quart

2-quart carton of frozen yogurt of $5.52

5.52 / 2 = $2.76 per quart

So, 2-cup carton of frozen yogurt for $0.80 is better buy.
