Question

# No plagiarism PLease # Demonstrate how you used proportion to determine the best price for any item you bought in the last 2 weeks. This item can be a grocery item, clothes, etc.

For example, which deal is the best: 2 liters of milk for $3.80, or 1.5 liters of milk for $2.70?

In this case, the "Unit" is 1 liter, and the Unit Prices are:

$3.80 / 2 liters = $1.90 per liter

$2.70 / 1.5 liters = $1.80 per liter

So the lowest Unit Price (and the best bargain) is 1.5 liters at $2.70.

Create your own problem based on an item that you bought in the last 2 weeks to show how you chose the best deal. Explain the steps detailing how you reached your decision.
