3. A nursery owner buys 8 panes of glass to fix some damage to his green
point

Answer 1

(a) 22-ounce package

Explanation:

The price per ounce is found by dividing the price by the number of ounces:

6 oz for 1.92 = $1.92/6 = $0.32 /oz

15 oz for $4.95 = $4.95/15 = $0.33 /oz

22 oz for $6.60 = $6.60/22 = $0.30 /oz

The "best buy" in this context is the one that is the least cost per ounce.

The best buy is the 22-ounce package.

Additional comment

The notion of "best buy" generally assumes a continuous relationship with the product. That is, it assumes you will use the entire package and probably purchase more.

If you only need 3 ounces, spending more than the $1.92 required for a 6-oz package will be a waste of both money and product. For that purpose, the 6-oz package is the "best buy."
