Question

a 15 oz can of green beans usually cost $0.99 this week a large supermarket chain is advertising two cans for $1.79 is this bargain? explain why or why not

Answer 1

The sale price of two cans of green beans for $1.79 is a bargain.

Step-by-step explanation:

The regular price for a 15 oz can of green beans is $0.99. The supermarket chain is advertising two cans for $1.79. To determine if this is a bargain, we can compare the price per can. The regular price per can is $0.99 / 1 can = $0.99. The sale price per can is $1.79 / 2 cans = $0.895. The regular price per can is higher than the sale price per can, so this is indeed a bargain.

Answer 2

It is a bargain because normally buying two cans would cost $1.98. Even though it's only a $0.19 difference, it is still cheaper.
