Problem

Henry is buying orange juice to make punch for a party. He can buy the juice in 32 -oz cartons for \( \$ 2.56 \) each or 48 -oz cartons for \( \$ 3.36 \) each. Complete the statements which explain which is a better value. Since the cost per ounce of the \( 48-\mathrm{oz} \) carton is Choose... which is Choose... the 32 -oz carton, the Choose... is a better value.

Solution

Step 1 :\( \text{32-oz carton cost per ounce: } \frac{2.56}{32} = \$ 0.08 \)

Step 2 :\( \text{48-oz carton cost per ounce: } \frac{3.36}{48} = \$ 0.07 \)

Step 3 :\( 0.07 < 0.08, \) so \( \text{48-oz carton} \) is a better value.
