Unit 3: You Are What You Eat: Healthy Meal Planning
Question 10 • Nutrition and Wellness (IS)
Oscar needs to prepare a recipe that calls for Brussels sprouts, anchovies, and walnuts. He checks online to find that one store has Brussels sprouts on special this week, while another is running a buy-one-get-one free on walnuts. The problem is that these stores are over 10 miles apart. Before heading out to shop, what is the MOST important thing for Oscar to consider?
Answer
A
Which store he really prefers to shop at.
B
Which store gives the best rewards for shopping.
C
How much money he will save by driving to both.
D
Whether Brussels sprouts are in season.
Explanation
Oscar should compare the savings from the two deals with the cost of driving more than 10 miles between stores. Extra fuel, time, and possibly other travel costs could outweigh the discounts. So the most important consideration is how much money he will save by driving to both stores, not simply which store he prefers or whether the vegetables are in season.
