explain TWO reasons why someone might NOT choose the “best buy”/“ better deal” when looking at a unit rate for a product. be sure to use example to support your answer.

Respuesta :

Answer:

  • When, we talk about the unit rate or the unit price of the product we take into consideration parameters like cost  per liter,per kilogram,per pound .
  • The Unit rate does not talk about the quality of the product

  • The concept of "Best buy or Better Deal " is a qualitative approach .
  • It talks about parameters like price,delivery,customer satisfaction, etc in other words is the product purchased able to meet the customer expectation

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets consider an example of unit rate/Unit price

10 pencils for Rs.4.00, or

6 pencils for Rs.2.70 ?

Here is the Unit Cost:

Rs 4.00 / 10 = Rs.0.40 per pencil

Rs 2.70 / 6 = Rs.0.45 per pencil

So the lowest Unit Price (and the best bargain) is 10 pencils for Rs.4.00

Here we do not focus on the quality of the pencil purchased,we only concentrate over the lowest  price that is offered.

2 reasons why we will not choose the "best buy or better deal "option when looking for a unit rate for a product because

  • when focusing on unit rate the price of the product is important Obtaining product at a lower price is important
  • Unit Rate of product indicates that we want to buy a large/bulk  quantity of product so the quality of the product being purchased is not given importance
