Question

One brand of orange juice is sold in four different sizes. The 8 ounce carton costs $0.99. The 48-ounce carton costs $2.49. The 64-ounce carton costs $3.75. Which size is the Best Buy? Explain how you determine your answer

Answer 1

To determine which size is the best value, we must find the cost per ounce of each. We can do so by creating rates for each size.

8 ounce size: .99/8 = $.123 per ounce

48-ounce size: 2.49/48 = $.0518 per ounce

64-ounce size: 3.75/64 = $.0585 per ounce

Is there a fourth size mentioned?

Out of the three sizes we have here, the 48-ounce size would be the best value because it has a unit rate of $.0518 per ounce, which is lower than the other sizes.
