Question

A 16 oz package of brown rice costs 79 cents and a 32 oz package of

brown rice costs $2.09. Which package is a better deal?


I have to get this done by tonight please help me!!

Answer 1

The 16 oz package.

Explanation:

Make the 16 oz a 32 oz so we can compare the prices

Mutiply 0.79 X 2 = 1.58

The 16 oz is because you can buy it twice making it a 32 oz for less than the orginal 32 oz.

(Compared side by side)

2.09 > 1.58

hope this helped!

Answer 2

The 16oz is a better deal

Explanation:

32 = 2 * 16

buying 2 packages of 16 oz cost

0.79 * 2 = 1.58

1.58 < 2.09

The 16oz is a better deal
