Answer 2

Given: Marcus purchases 2.25 pounds of peanuts for $4.05 and Levi purchased two 20 ounce cans for $4.24.

To find: Which purchase has good deal.

Solution:

• We know 1 Ounce =0.0625 pound.
• Now let's calculate for one ounce can = $\frac{4.24}{2} = 2.12$=$2.12.
• Convert 20 ounce can to pounds = 20 X 0.0625 = 1.25 pounds.
• Calculate Marcus purchased peanuts for 1 pound we get,

        $\frac{4.05}{2.25}$ = $1.8

• Calculate Levi purchased peanuts for 1 pound we get,

       $\frac{2.12}{1.25}$ = $1.7

So,we come to know that Levi deal is good.
