Final answer:
Without pricing information, it is not possible to determine which package of rice is the best buy. Normally, the package with the lowest cost per ounce would be the best buy.
This correct answer is none of the above.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine which package of rice is the best buy, we need to compare the cost per ounce of each package. However, the original question does not provide the cost of each package. Generally, the process would involve dividing the total cost by the number of ounces to get the cost per ounce. The package with the lowest cost per ounce would be considered the best buy.
For example, if the 8-ounce package costs $2, the 12-ounce package costs $2.50, and the 26-ounce package costs $5, you would do the following calculations:
- Divide $2 by 8 ounces to get the cost per ounce for package A.
- Divide $2.50 by 12 ounces to get the cost per ounce for package B.
- Divide $5 by 26 ounces to get the cost per ounce for package C.
Then, compare the results to see which package offers the lowest cost per ounce. Since the question does not provide the necessary pricing information, it is not possible to make a determination in this case.
This correct answer is none of the above.
