Which 1 point size has the least cost per ounce? ** Hint: Divide each one to find the Cost per ounce*** Look at the table of costs for different size bottles of salad dressing. Salad Dressing 16 oz 12 oz 30 OZ Size Cost 28 oz $2.70 $1.20 $1.79 $3.00

Answer 1

To find the least cost per ounce, we must find the cost of each one

The first data in the table is 12 ounces cost 1.20 dollars

The cost per ounce = cost / ounce

`(1.2)/(12)=0.1`

The cost per ounce = 0.1 dollar

The second data in the table is 16 ounces cost 1.79 dollars

`(1.79)/(16)=0.111875`

The cost per ounce = 0.111875 dollars

The third data in the table is 28 ounces cost 2.70 dollars

`(2.70)/(28)=0.09643`

The cost per ounce = 0.09643 dollars

The fourth data in the table is 30 ounces cost 3 dollars

`(3)/(30)=0.1`

The cost per ounce = 0.1 dollars

Then the least on is the 3rd one

The least cost is 0.09643 dollar per pound ====== 3rd data in the tab
