FS > RS in cost an quantity. FS Cost/qty = ?
1. FS qty = RS qty + 10
Tell us nothing about the cost, insufficient..
2. FS total cost = 5.40$ But we don't know how many ounces of cereal are in it, so we cannot find the cost per ounce.
Both 1 and 2:
Again, we only know it has 10 ounces more than regular, and cannot give a definitive answer about cost per ounce.
Pick E.
