Question

Emily is preparing cookies for her friends she is at the market where she sees a 14 ounce bag of chocolate chips for 3.50 the market also sells a 24 ounce bag for 5.28 which size bag is better to buy

Answer 1

Bag 2

Explanation:

Given

Bag 1:

`14\ ounce = 3.50`

Bag 2:

`24\ ounce = 5.28`

Required

Which is a better buy

To get which buy is better, we first get the unit price of each bag.

`Unit\ Price = Amount/Size`

For bag 1:

`Unit\ Price = 3.50/14`

`Unit\ Price = 0.25`

For bag 2:

`Unit\ Price = 5.28/24`

`Unit\ Price = 0.22`

The best buy is the one with smaller unit price

Hence, bag 2 is better to buy
