Which costs the least per ounce?
60 oz. of chocolate for $5.40
28 oz. of chocolate for $2.24
35 oz. of chocolate for $3.16
16 oz. of chocolate for $1.76
To determine which option costs the least per ounce, we divide the cost of each option by the number of ounces:
For the first option: $5.40 ÷ 60 oz. = $0.09 per oz.
For the second option: $2.24 ÷ 28 oz. = $0.08 per oz.
For the third option: $3.16 ÷ 35 oz. = $0.09 per oz.
For the fourth option: $1.76 ÷ 16 oz. = $0.11 per oz.
Therefore, the second option (28 oz. of chocolate for $2.24) costs the least per ounce at $0.08.
