One contains 16 ounces and costs $3.29. If Debby needs 48 ounces of cheese for her pizzas, how many of which type of bag should she buy and what will be the cost?

Answer 1

6 of the 8 oz one

Explanation:

you need to buy 6 of the first to get 48 oz, and the price would be 9.54. you need 4 for the next with the price at 9.96. you need 3 for 16 oz and the price is 9.89. compare all of them and you get 9.54 as the lowest, which was the 8 oz one
