find the unit rate for each
$2.15/12 oz=$0.179 or $0.18 per oz
$2.88/16=$0.18 per oz
the difference is only 1/10 of a cent between them
they are basically the same; neither one is the better buy
if you buy 10 boxes of the 12 oz stuffing over the 16 oz stuffing you will save only $0.01

To determine which is the better buy between the 12 oz and 16 oz Thanksgiving stuffing boxes, we compare the cost per ounce of each: 1. 12 oz box for $2.15: 2.15 / 12 = 0.1792 per ounce (approx. 17.92¢/oz) 2. 16 oz box for $2.88: 2.88 / 16 = 0.18 per ounce (18¢/oz) Conclusion: The 12 oz box is slightly cheaper per ounce than the 16 oz box (17.92¢ vs. 18¢), so it’s the better buy in terms of unit price. 🦃 Need Thanksgiving Packaging?
