Ava lives alone in a small apartment. She likes to make herself stir fry with broccoli about once a week. Ava sometimes shops at the corner store, at her local grocery store, and at a large box store. When it comes to picking out broccoli for her stir fry, there are several options. Considering her desire to conserve the Earth’s resources, which would be the BEST choice for Ava?A. 12 oz bag for $4.99B. 24 oz bag for $6.27C. 40 oz bag for $9.95D. 64 oz bag for $12.53

Respuesta :

Solution

- In order to conserve Earth's resources, Ava should buy what would cost the least for an ounce.

- The formula for calculating this is:

[tex]\frac{\text{ price of bag}}{\text{ weight of bag}}(\frac{oz}{\$})[/tex]

- This formula gives us the dollars per ounce of each choice/option.

- The better option is one with the lower dollars per ounce.

- Thus, we have:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ Option A:} \\ \$0.42\text{ per ounce} \\ \\ Option\text{ B:} \\ \$0.26\text{ per ounce} \\ \\ \text{ Option C:} \\ \$0.24\text{ per ounce} \\ \\ \text{ Option D:} \\ \$0.20\text{ per ounce} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Final Answer

The best choice she can make is OPTION D because it costs the least per ounce
