Answer 2

Answer:

8 ounce jar; $0.08

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

A store charges $8.95 for an 8 ounce jar of maple syrup.

The price for a 10 ounce jar of the same brand is $12.00.

To Find :  Which jar is the better buy? What is the difference in the unit prices?

Solution:

Cost of 8 ounce jar = $8.95

Cost of 1 ounce jar = $\frac{8.95}{8}=1.12$

Cost of 10 ounce jar =$12.00

Cost of 1 ounce jar = $\frac{12}{10}=1.2$

Thus 8 ounce jar is better since its unit price is less than 10 ounce jar

The difference in the unit prices=1.2-1.12=$0.08

Hence Option A is correct : 8 ounce jar; $0.08
