"peanut butter can be brought in 250g jars for $6.50 or in 100g jars for $3.10. Which is the cheaper way of buying and how large is the saving
You can put this solution on YOUR website! say you want 250g of peanut butter, you could
buy one 250g jar of peanut butter for $6.50 or
you would have to buy three 100g jars of peanut butter at $3.10 per jar,
3 * $3.10 = $9.30
therefore, buying one jar at $6.50 saves you
$9.30 - $6.50 = $2.80
************************************************
we can calculate the price per gram of peanut butter for each jar type
1) $6.50 / 250 = $0.026
2) $3.10 / 100 = $0.031
therefore the $6.50 for a 250g jar is cheaper
