Looking at constant of proportionality- cost per ounce- smart shopping

What do you notice on the bacon label?

What is/are the most important piece(s) of information they give you?

Which is a better bacon to buy, "sliced" or "center cut"?

Why is that bacon a better buy?

What did I do with numbers on the ranch label to get this answer on the calculator on my phone?

What does the number the on the calculator mean about the ranch?

I actually didn't buy this one, because there was a smaller one that was on sale, BUYING BIGGER ISN'T ALWAYS BETTER!

That cost per ounce is like our rate/constant of proportionality, what we multiply by to get get our price for so many ounces.  Find the best deal, be smart shoppers, don't waste your money!
