Question

A 64-ounce container of sports juice costs $6.50. A 48-ounce container of the same juice is $4.95. Which size is the better buy?

Answer 1

The 64 ounce container is the better buy

Explanation:

To determine which is the better buy, determine the cost per ounce of each.

For the 64 ounce container:
Cost `=6.50/64`
`=0.102 " dollars per ounce"`

For the 48 ounce container
Cost `=4.95/48`
`=0.103 " dollar per ounce"`

The larger container is the better buy because it costs less per ounce
