Javier’s other meat choice is a Porterhouse steak which is currently priced at $4.96 per pound. Which steak has theunit price of $0.34 per oz.?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide each of these prices by 16 because we can't have the cost per pound and divide by 1 pound when we want the price per ounce. There are 16 ounces in 1 pound.

For the flat-iron, the cost per ounce is 5.60/16 = 35 cents per ounce.

For the T-bone, the cost per ounce is 5.44/16 = 34 cents per ounce.

For the Strip, the cost per ounce is 4.48/16 = 28 cents per ounce.

For the Porterhouse, the cost per ounce is 4.96/16 = 31 cents per ounce.

It appears that the one that costs 34 cents per ounce is the T-Bone.
