    The BEST Buy Worksheet

    • Multiple brands sell similar products at different prices and sizes. How can we
    compare them to decide which product is the ‘best buy’?
    • To calculate the cost of a product we can compute the ‘unit price’.
    • A unit price is usually the cost per one item or 100g of a product.
    • The unit price is useful for comparing the prices of two products.

    Example

    The packet of chips cost $3.50 for 170g

    First find the price per 1g (170)


    $3.50 ÷ 170 = 0.020588...

    Next find the price per 100g (100)


    0.020588235294118 × 100 = 2.058823...

    Round to 2 decimal places


    2.06

    ∴The unit price is $2.06 per 100g of chips
