Step-by-step explanation:
Nina shops at two different stores Fran's Foods and Diane's Deli.
comparison of prices of items on both stores :
Price of cereal at Fran's food :
∵ The price of [tex]16\frac{2}{3}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{50}{3}[/tex] ounces cereal = $3.36
∴ The price of 1 ounce cereal = [tex]\frac{3.36}{\frac{50}{3}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{3.36\times 3}{50}[/tex]
= $0.2016
Price of cereal at Diane's Deli :
∵ The price of [tex]24\frac{3}{5}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{123}{5}[/tex] ounces of cereal = $5.52
∴ the price of 1 ounce of cereal = [tex]\frac{5.52}{\frac{123}{5}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{5.52\times 5}{123}[/tex]
= $0.2244
For cereal Fran's food is better buy
Price of Apple sauce at Fran's food :
∵ the price of [tex]10\frac{1}{5}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{51}{5}[/tex] ounces apple sauce = $3.80
∴ the price of 1 ounce apple sauce = [tex]\frac{3.80}{\frac{51}{5} }[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{3.80\times 5}{51}[/tex]
= $0.3725
Price of apple sauce at Diane's Deli :
∵ the price of [tex]4\frac{2}{7}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{30}{7}[/tex] ounces apple sauce = $0.86
∴ the price of 1 ounce apple sauce = [tex]\frac{0.86}{\frac{30}{7} }[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{0.86\times 7}{30}[/tex]
= $0.2006
For apple sauce Diane's Deli is better buy
Price of soup at Fran's food :
∵ the price of [tex]16\frac{1}{2}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{33}{2}[/tex] ounces soup = $1.99
∴ the price of 1 ounce soup = [tex]\frac{1.99}{\frac{33}{2} }[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1.99\times 2}{33}[/tex]
= $0.1206
Price of soup at Diane's Deli :
∵ the price of [tex]24\frac{3}{4}[/tex] or [tex]\frac{99}{4}[/tex] ounces soup = $3.99
∴ the price of 1 ounce soup = [tex]\frac{3.99}{\frac{99}{4} }[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{3.99\times 4}{99}[/tex]
= $0.1612
For soup Fran's food is better buy
