1. The 1.5 oz box for $2 is best because if you make $3 into $6 then the box is 32 oz. And if you change $2 to $6, the box is 34 ... 5 oz which is better because its bigger.

1. it would be smarter to but the 16 oz bag because your getting more out of your money with the 11 oz bag you would be paying 5.75 per oz but with the 16 oz bag you are paying 5.30 per oz so it is a better choice to choose the 16 oz bag
