Question

Calculate each unit price. Determine which is the best buy.

$1.25 for 6 oz.
$1.33 for 8 oz.
$1.50 for 12 oz.
$2.05 for 16 oz.

Answer 1

1.50 for 12 ounces would be the best buy.

Explanation:

We can calculate the unit price by dividing the price the the amount. In this case, we use ounces as our amount. Based on the calculations below, the best buy would be the 1.50 for 12 ounces as it has the lowest unit price.

1.25/6 = 0.208

1.33/8 = 0.166

1.50/12 = 0.125

2.05/16 = 0.128
