Step-by-step explanation:
1. 4 apples cost $1.59
1 apple would cost $1.59 ÷ 4
1.59 ÷ 4 = 0.3975
0.3975 ≈ 0.40
1 apple would cost approximately 40 cents.
2. 3 apples cost $1.00
1 apple would cost $1.00 ÷ 3
1.00 ÷ 3 = 0.3333
0.3333 ≈ 0.33
1 apple would cost approximately 33 cents.
3. Loose apples are the better buy because 1 apple costs approximately 33 cents while packaged apples cost approximately 40 cents.
4. 15 ounces cost $1.05
1 ounce would cost $1.05 ÷ 15
1.05 ÷ 15 = 0.07
1 ounce would cost 7 cents.
5. 48 ounces cost $2.39
1 ounce would cost $2.39 ÷ 48
2.39 ÷ 48 = 0.0497
0.0497 ≈ 0.05
1 ounce would approximately cost 5 cents.
6. The 48-ounce jar of applesauce is the better buy because 1 ounce costs approximately 5 cents while a 15-ounce jar of applesauce costs 7 cents.
7. 15 ounces cost $1.54
1 ounce would cost $1.54 ÷ 15
1.54 ÷ 15 = 0.1026
0.1026 ≈ 0.10
1 ounce would approximately cost 10 cents.
8. 6 (six 1 ounce) ounces cost $1.15
1 ounce would cost $1.15 ÷ 6
1.15 ÷ 6 = 0.1916
0.1916 ≈ 0.19
1 ounce would approximately cost 19 cents.
