Best Buy Project

Which Doritos Chip is Cheaper
Which Doritos chip do you think is the better buy "Nacho Cheese, Cool Ranch (party size), or Spicy Nacho". Here are the prices of the chips.
What is Unit Rate
When finding unit rate you have to know your before numerator and your before denominator. Now that you know your before denominator you are going to divide that number by that number. So say I have 11 as my denominator i divide 11 by 11 to get 1. Now that you divided your denominator by 11 divide your numerator by 11 to get your unit rate. So say I am trying to find the unit rate of $2.50/11 oz. you divide 11 by 11 to get 1 and $2.50 by 11 to get $0.23 and the unit rate is $0.23/1 .
Why is Unit Rate Useful in This Situation
Since I am trying to find the better buy I would need to see which one can I get for cheaper per ounce.
Which is The Better Buy
The Spicy Nacho Doritos are the better buy because it is $0.23 per ounce which is cheaper than the rest and more than the Nacho Cheese ones.
