should Darryl accept this price?

Question

Darryl received a special offer from the local grocery store on gourmet pickle buckets.The size of a pickle bucket is 640 ounces, and for Downtown Deli, the price is only $32. Explain how Darryl would decide if this is a better buy than purchasing Brand D pickles at $0.20 per ounce. Should Darryl accept this price?       this is the full question

Answer 1

In pennies $32.00 = 3200 pennies.

 

So the unit price of the bucket it 3200 cents/640 ounces = 5 pennies per ounce.

 

So if Darryl will be willing to eat all 40 pounds of the pickles, then

yes, the bucket is the better buy compared to the Brand D at 30 cents per ounce.
