The Hendersons are hosting a barbecue for five people and want to purchase enough chicken for everyone to have two pieces. Which option makes the most financial sense?

Which option makes the most financial sense? 10 individual chicken breasts at $3 each

5 two-packs of chicken breasts at $5 each

a 12-pack bag of chicken at $20

a 20-pack bag of chicken at $35

The answer is below

Explanation:

Given that the number of people needed to serve is five and the plan is for each of them to have two pieces of chicken.

Hence

For choice A:

Total cost = 10*3 = $30

Number of pieces = 10

For choice B:

Total cost = 5*5 = $25

Number of pieces = 10

For choice C:

Total cost = $20

Number of pieces = 12

For choice D:

Total cost = $35

Number of pieces = 20

Therefore, considering the above choices, the best choice to choose is option C.

This is because it has the lowest cost and the number of pieces satisfies them and yet remains.

when in doubt choose c
