Question

Pablo wants to buy a steak at the grocery store. He has two options. The first is. 1.37 pounds and costs $9.59. The second is 1.75 pounds and costs $10.85. Which is the better buy?

Answer 1

look At the ratio of steak A: 1.37 lbs/ $9.59 and compare it to the ratio of steak B: 1.75lbs/ $10.85.

Steak A costs: $7/lb

Cost/weight

Steak B costs: $6.20/lb

So steak B would be the better buy.
