Unit word problem

Question

chilli time: Mr. Schorr wants to buy some beans to make his famous chilli. meijer sells a 32 ounce can of beans for $3.39. kroger sells a 40 ounce can of beans for $3.99. find the unit rate at both stores, then determine which store Mr. Schorr should buy the beans from

Answer 1

3.39/32 = 0.105

 

3.99/40 = 0.0997

 

If he's buying one can, he's not saving but a cent per ounce if he buys from Kroger, but he'll probably be making a lot of chili.
