Question

Ava lives alone in a small apartment. She likes to make herself stir fry with broccoli about once a week. Ava sometimes shops at the corner store, at her local grocery store, and at a large box store. When it comes to picking out broccoli for her stir fry, there are several options. Considering her desire to conserve the Earth’s resources, which would be the BEST choice for Ava?

A.
12 oz bag for $4.99

B.
24 oz bag for $6.27

C.
40 oz bag for $9.95

D.
64 oz bag for $12.53

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

The BEST choice for Ava would be option B: 24 oz bag for $6.27. This option provides the most broccoli for the least amount of money, which reduces waste and conserves resources. Option C and D may provide a better deal in terms of cost per ounce, but purchasing such a large quantity of broccoli for just one person may lead to wasted food, which is not environmentally sustainable. Option A may seem like a good choice due to its smaller size, but it is also the most expensive per ounce, making it a less efficient choice in terms of resource conservation.
