Question

first person to answer my question gets a fan medal and a testimonial

A store charges $8.95 for an 8 ounce jar of maple syrup. The price for a 10 ounce jar of the same brand is $12.00. Which jar is the better buy? What is the difference in the unit prices? If necessary, round to the nearest cent.

A) 8 ounce jar; $0.08

B) 8 ounce jar; $0.15

C) 10 ounce jar; $.12

D) 10 ounce jar; $0.08

Answer 1

Divide the price by the number of ounces.
That gives you the unit price.

Answer 3

Do you know how to find out how much each item costs for 1 ounce?

Answer 4

no

Answer 5

Like @mathstudent55 said divide the price with the amount of juice given

Answer 6

is it C

Answer 7

A better buy is an item that costs less per unit.

Answer 8

$8.95 for an 8 ounce: $8.95/(8 oz) = $1.12/oz
10 ounce jar of the same brand is $12.00: $12/(10 oz) = $1.20/oz

The 8-oz jar is the better deal since $1.12/oz is less expensive than $1.20/oz.

The difference is:
$1.20/oz - $1.12/oz = $0.08/oz

@mathstudent55
so - having given a good method for the poster to follow (and nothing but a guess in return) WHY do you post the complete answer?

It is not allowed, and it doesn't help the poster to learn
