Which is the best deal for cream cheese? $2.59 for 6 oz $2.89 for 8 oz $4.29 for 12 oz $5.29 for 14 oz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

divide and see which number is smallest

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i.e. compute \[2.59\div 6,2.89\div 8,4.29\div 12,5.29\div 14\] and compare them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

$4.29 for 12 oz is the smallest...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok then pick that one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can't pick any one... I need to be sure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you said it was the smallest if you are right, that is the right answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@satellite73 So I'm correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Anyone I need a second opinion!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Will fan!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Please!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hurry! I need to go soon!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you divide it for example 6oz / 5.29 =2.32 o 2.89/8= 2.77 then you see that the one that you pay less for is the better deal so fo in this case the best deal is 8 oz

OpenStudy (anonymous):
