For this case we must find the unit cost of each option, compare and indicate the best purchase.
Option 1:
16lb turkey for $23.20
[tex]\frac {23.20} {16} = 1.45 \frac {dollars} {pound}[/tex]
Option 2:
12lb turkey for $16.56
[tex]\frac {16.56} {12} = 1.38 \frac {dollars} {pound}[/tex]
Thus, the best option is 2. The unit cost per pound of turkey is $1.38.
Answer:
Option 2
