Question

the local grocery store offers the following products at the given prices. find the more economical purchase and the unit cost. barilla® pasta, $1.69 for 12 ounces, or cream field® pasta, $2.75 for 24 ounces

Answer 1

To find which one is the more economical purchase, we must get them both to cost per ounce.

To do this, we take the cost, and divide it by the ounces.

$1.69/12= $.14 per ounce for Barilla

S2.75/24= $.11 per ounce for Field

Since $.14 per oz is more than $.11 per oz, that makes Field more a economical purchase.

Have an astounding day!
