Explain how you can compare the cost of two items that are different sizes.

Compare the cost for the each (smallest) unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can calculate the cost per unit

For example :

20 ounces of water of brand A cost 1.50

30 ounces of water of brand A cost 2

20 ounces of water cost 1.50/20 = 0.075 dollar per ounce

30 ounces of water cost 2/30 = 0.0677 dollar per ounce

First find the unit price for each. Then compare the unit prices. The item that has the lesser unit cost is the better buy.  

This was the example answer for this question, just add and move around the words to get a great unique answer. Hope this helps you!

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
