Answer:

A 9 oz box of rice for $1.25 would be the best buy

Step-by-step explanation:


For this case we must choose between the four options given, the best purchase in terms of quantity and price of rice.

For this, we get the unit price per ounce of each.

[tex]a) \frac {2.42} {16} = 0.15125\\b) \frac {1.93} {12} = 0.16083 \\c) \frac {0.90} {6} = 0.15 \\d) \frac {1.25} {9} = 0.139[/tex]

So, the best purchase would be:

A 9 oz. Box of rice $ 1.25
