Question

A 5-ounce can of tuna costs $0.90. A 12-ounce can of tuna costs $2.40. Which is the better buy?

Answer 1

Hello there!

To find which tuna is a better deal, divide the cost by the number of ounces of tuna you are getting to get the cost per ounce.

$0.90/5  = $0.18 per ounce

$2.40/12 = $0.20 per ounce

Since the 5-ounce can of tuna has a cheaper unit rate price, meaning you are getting a better value, makes this the best option. I hope this was helpful and have a great day! :)

Answer 2

Answer: 0.90/5 = 18 cents per ounce

2.40/12 = 20 cents per ounce

The 12 ounce can because you get more for only two cents more
