TRY BEFORE CHECKING
1. Oats: 300 g for $2.70 or 750 g for $6.30. Compare per 100 g. Which fits a $4 purchase budget?
2. Same drink: six 200 mL cartons for $4.50 total or one 1.5 L bottle for $5.40. Compare per liter. Which fits a $5 budget?
3. Comparable notebook pages: four 80-page notebooks for $6.40 or three 120-page notebooks for $9.00. Compare per page.

ANSWERS
1. A: $2.70 / 300 x 100 = $0.90 per 100 g. B: $6.30 / 750 x 100 = $0.84 per 100 g. B has the lower unit price; only A fits $4. Checks: $0.90 x 3 = $2.70; $0.84 x 7.5 = $6.30.
2. A: 6 x 200 = 1200 mL = 1.2 L; $4.50 / 1.2 = $3.75 per liter. B: $5.40 / 1.5 = $3.60 per liter. B has the lower unit price; only A fits $5.
3. A: 320 pages; $6.40 / 320 = $0.02 per page. B: 360 pages; $9.00 / 360 = $0.025 per page. A has the lower price per comparable page. Binding, paper and the number of notebooks needed remain separate choices.

A lower unit price does not guarantee a lower bill or a suitable purchase. These are fictional prices. No savings or learning result is guaranteed.
