Question

You can buy jars of olives in two sizes.
Jar A: 800g for $12.40
Jar B: 500g for $8.20


Which jar is better value?

Answer 1

Jar A has better value, as it has more grams of olives for every dollar.

$\frac{800}{12.40} = 64.52$ grams per dollar

$\frac{500}{8.20} = 60.98$ grams per dollar
