Answer:

From our calculations the large jar is the best value for money because a penny buys more honey

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem we are expected to determine which purchase of honey is the cheapest ? large jar or small jar ?.

We will determine which has the best value for money using the quantity a pound can purchase. ┬а

firstly for the large jar.

if ┬г4.10 will purchase 540g of honey then,

┬а ┬а┬г1.00 will purchase xg

cross multiplying to find x will have

[tex]x=[/tex] ┬а[tex]\frac{1.00*540g}{4.10}[/tex]

[tex]x= 131.7grams[/tex]

Hence for the large jar a penny would buy 131.7g of honey

secondly for the small jar

if ┬г2.81 will purchase 360g of honey then,

┬а ┬а┬г1.00 will purchase xg

cross multiplying to find x will have

[tex]x=\frac{1.00*360g}{2.81}\\x= 128.1gram[/tex]

Hence for the small jar a penny would buy 128.1g of honey
