Question

Two retailers sell vanilla extract by the following price chart. When will their price be the same and how much?

Answer 1

8 oz, $41

Explanation:

For 4 oz, Chef Mate sells their's for $22 and Grocery Gourmet sells their's $25. Chef Mate sells his vanilla extract for $4.75/oz and Grocery Gourmet sells their's for $4/oz. At the 8th ounce, Chef Mate and Grocery Gourmet will charge the same amount, $41.

Chef Mate: $22 (price of 4 oz) + ($4.75 × 4) = $41

Gourmet Garden: $25 (price of 4 oz) + ($4 × 4) = $41
