Which of the following is the better deal?

O 6-oz box of crackers for $1.08
O 7-oz box of crackers for $1.19
O 8-oz box of crackers for $1.20
O 9-oz box of crackers for $1.26

Answer 1

The 6-oz for $1.08 is the better deal

Answer 2

the better deal would be 9-oz box of crackers for 1.26

Explanation:

First, you write the numbers down as a fraction. 6/1.08, 7/1.19, 8/1.20, and 9/1.26. and then you divide the cost by oz. 1.08÷6 is .18, 1.19÷7 is 17, 1.20÷8 is .15, and 1.26÷9 is .14. So, the best deal would be 9 oz for 1.26 because it is only 14 cents per oz.
