Q. Colin loves to eat tuna salad for lunch. His mom is always looking for a bargain on 1212-ounce cans of tuna. Today, his local grocery store is offering 44 cans of Sea Star tuna for $3.28\$3.28 and 22 cans of Ocean's Best tuna for $1.88\$1.88. Which brand is the better deal?\newline(A)Sea Star\newline(B)Ocean's Best
  1. Calculate Sea Star price: Calculate the price per can for Sea Star tuna. Price for 44 cans = $3.28\$3.28, so price per can = $3.28/4=$0.82\$3.28 / 4 = \$0.82 per can.
  2. Calculate Ocean's Best price: Calculate the price per can for Ocean's Best tuna. Price for 22 cans = $1.88\$1.88, so price per can = $1.88/2=$0.94\$1.88 / 2 = \$0.94 per can.
  3. Compare prices: Compare the price per can of Sea Star and Ocean's Best.\newlineSea Star = $0.82\$0.82 per can; Ocean's Best = $0.94\$0.94 per can. Since $0.82\$0.82 is less than $0.94\$0.94, Sea Star is cheaper.
