Question

A 375 g box of breakfast cereal cost $1.65. A 650 g box of the same breakfast cereal costs $2.86- Which box is better value for money?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

550 g costs $ 2.50

1 g costs

$2.50

= $0.004545

550

1 g of cereal from the 550 g box costs $ 0.004545

b) Work out the cost per gram of the 1 kg (1000 g) box

1000 g costs $ 5.00

1 g costs

$5.00

= $0.005

1000

1 g of cereal from the 1000 g box costs $ 0.005

Working out the cost per gram of each box of cereal, Becky realizes that it is a better deal for her to buy the 550 g box.
