Question

8 oz of cream cheese for $1.98 or 1 pound for 3.75?

Answer 1

There are 16 oz in a pound so it would be cheaper to purchase 1 pound for $3.75

Answer 2

Answer 1 for 3.75 is the better buy

2 blocks of 8 oz = 1 pound
2 blocks x 1.98 = 3.96
So 1 pound is 3.96 buying two 8 oz pkg
Cheaper to buy the 1 pound block at 3.75
