Additional Examples
The same brand of pretzels comes in two sizes a
10-ounce bag for .99, and an 18-ounce bag for
1.49. Which size is a better buy? Round each
unit price to the nearest cent.
Divide to find the unit price for each size.
The better buy costs less per ounce. Since .08
is less than .10, the 18-ounce bag is the
better buy.
