Question 4 • POP Financial Math 26/27

Jared wants to purchase his favorite barbeque sauce. The barbeque sauce comes in two different size bottles. The 32 ounce bottle is on sale for $4.59. The 18 ounce bottle is priced at $3.06. Jared has a coupon for 60 cents off if you buy two 18 ounce bottles. Determine if Jared gets the better buy when he buys one 32 ounce bottle or when he buys two 18 ounce bottles.

Answer
A
Jared will get the same deal on either purchase.
B
Jared will get the better deal buying one 32 ounce bottle.
C
Jared will get the better deal buying two 18 ounce bottles.
D
Jared doesn’t need the coupon, he will get the best deal on one 18 ounce bottle.

Explanation

Two 18-ounce bottles contain 36 ounces and cost $3.06 × 2 − $0.60 = $5.52 after the coupon. That is about $0.153 per ounce, while the 32-ounce bottle costs $4.59 ÷ 32, or about $0.143 per ounce. The 32-ounce bottle costs less per ounce, so Jared gets the better deal buying one 32-ounce bottle.
