Lynda is deciding between two sizes of Juice at the local grocery store. The 64 ounce bottle costs $3.50. The 128 ounce bottle costs $5.75. Which bottle has the cheapest cost per ounce?

Question

The 64 ounce bottle

The 128 ounce bottle

The costs are the same

Answer 1

To find the cost per ounce for each bottle, we divide the total cost by the number of ounces in each bottle.

For the 64 ounce bottle: $3.50 / 64 ounces = $0.0547 per ounce

For the 128 ounce bottle: $5.75 / 128 ounces = $0.0449 per ounce

Therefore, the 128 ounce bottle has the cheapest cost per ounce.
