<PRE><B>Question 57749</B>
Decide which is the better buy.  Explain - can you please explain to me what exactly the steps are:

a 17 ounce box of cereal for $4,89 or a 21 ounce box for $5.69 
----------
You need to figure out the cost per ounce for each cereal.
489/17=28.76 cents per ounce for the 17 ounce box.
569/21=27.09 cents perounce for the 19 ounce box.
----------
The 19 ounce box is the better buy.
Cheers,
