Question 1109825
<br>
The other tutor has the answer right, but his numbers aren't right.<br>
Use estimation.  A little mental arithmetic shows 59 cents for 12 ounces is just under 5 cents per ounce (12*5 would be 60); and 81 cents for 16 ounces is just over 5 cents per ounce (16*5 would be 80).<br>
Just under 5 cents per ounce is cheaper than just over 5 cents per ounce....<br>
The 12 ounce can is the better buy.
