Answer 1

The brand that is the best buy is D. Cousin Ben's Stuffing Mix 6 oz, because the cost per ounce is the lowest.

Explanation:

For answering this question correctly, we need to calculate the cost per ounce to compare the four stuffing mix options available. Therefore,

Cost per ounce = Price/Number of ounces in the package

Proceeding with the calculations, we have:

A. Cook Top Stuffing Mix 6 oz. for $1.49. If we use the coupon the price would be $ 1.39.

Cost per ounce = 1.39/6

Cost per ounce = $ 0.23 (rounding to the next cent)

B. Cook Top Stuffing Mix 12 oz. for $2.99. If we use the coupon the price would be $ 2.89.

Cost per ounce = 2.89/12

Cost per ounce = $ 0.24 (rounding to the next cent)

C. Saltridge Farms Stuffing Mix 6 oz. for $1.79.

Cost per ounce = 1.79/6

Cost per ounce = $ 0.30 (rounding to the next cent)

D. Cousin Ben's Stuffing Mix 6 oz. for $1.29.

Cost per ounce = 1.29/6

Cost per ounce = $ 0.22 (rounding to the next cent)

The brand that is the best buy is D. Cousin Ben's Stuffing Mix 6 oz, because the cost per ounce is the lowest.
