Question

When you go to CTown, there are two choices of Jif creamy peanut butter. Which one would you choose? Explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

To choose the peanut butter we can calculate the ratio price to weight for each one:

`\begin{gathered} \text{option 1:} \\ (3.20)/(40)=0.08 \\ \text{option 2:} \\ (1.92)/(16)=0.12 \end{gathered}`

We can see that for option 1 see we pay 0.08$/oz and for option 2 0.12$/oz, so the better choice is option 1.
