Answer 1

we are asked to determine the better price for two different cereals. To do that we need to find the unit price:

For the Cheerios

$N_1=\frac{3.68\text{ dollars}}{17\text{ oz}}$

Solving the operations:

$N_1=0.22\text{ dollars/oz}$

For Apple jack:

$N_2=\frac{2.89\text{ dollars}}{13\text{ oz}}$

Solving the operations:
