Which is the better value: a 15.3 oz. box of cereal for $3.37 or a 24 oz. box of cereal for $4.59?
Answer provided by our tutors
price per ounce for the 15.3 oz box:
3.37/15.3 = 0.22
price per ounce for the 24 oz box:
4.59 /24. = 0.19
the 24 oz box happens to cost less than the 15.3 oz box, so for this example the larger box is the better value [if all of the cereal gets eaten] (but sometimes stores switch that up on you!)
