Answer 1

Answer:

unit price for 11.3-ounce package = $0.25

unit price for 27.8-ounce package =  $0.23

27.8-ounce package is the better buy

Step-by-step explanation:

An 11.3-ounce package costs $2.88. A 27.8-ounce package costs $6.48.

a) 11.3-ounce package

11.3 ounces = $2.88

1 ounce = $2.88 ÷ 11.3

1 ounce = $0.25

b) 27.8-ounce package

27.8 ounces = $6.48

1 ounce = $6.48 ÷ 27.8

1 ounce = $0.23

$0.25 > $0.23
