Answer 1

A. 12 oz. for $1.47

B. 16 oz for $0.77

C. 5 cans for 1.79

Explanation:

A. Divide them both, cost by quantity.

0.99/8=0.123

1.47/12=0.1225

The second option is better since its 0.005 less than the first option.

B. Again, divide both options.

0.77/16=0.04125

1.50/31=0.04838

Second option because it is 0.00713 cents cheaper.

C. 1.77/3=0.59

1.79/5= 0.36

Second option is .23 cents cheaper than the first option.
