To determine the least expensive option for purchasing 72 ounces of canned beans, we would need to look at the available packaging options and their prices. However, you've not provided me with specific price options or details on the sizes of cans available for Mrs. Jones to choose from.
Generally, to find the least possible cost, Mrs. Jones should:
1. **Compare Prices Per Ounce**: Calculate the cost per ounce for each packaging option available. This is found by dividing the total cost of each option by the number of ounces it contains.
2. **Calculate Total Cost for 72 Ounces**: Once she knows the cost per ounce, she should compute the costs for the amounts needed to reach 72 ounces, using different combinations of can sizes if necessary.
3. **Select the Most Economical Option**: After calculating, she should choose the option with the lowest total cost to get the desired 72 ounces.
If you provide the specific details regarding the canned bean options (size and price), I’d be happy to help you calculate and determine the best choice for Mrs. Jones!
