Question

The cost for an 8 ounce bottle of nuts is $4. A 12 ounce jar of nuts is $5.04. Which is the better buy?

Answer 1

$4 divide 8 = 0.5 which is 0.50. $5.04 divide 12 = 0.42. $0.42 is less than which is cheaper than 0.5 so a 22 ounce jar of nuts is the better buy.

Answer 2

i would get a jar of nuts its only a little bit more butttt the better buy is 8 ounces for the sake of the math.

Explanation:

8 ounces = $4 : $2 an ounce

12 ounces = $5.04 : $2.3 an ounce
