The Hendersons are hosting a barbecue for five people and want to purchase enough chicken for everyone to have two pieces. Which option makes the most financial sense? 10 individual chicken breasts at $3 each 5 two-packs of chicken breasts at $5 each a 12-pack bag of chicken at $20 a 20-pack bag of chicken at $35

The number of people is five and the plan is for each of them to have two pieces of chicken.

For option A:

Total cost = 10*3 = $30

Number of pieces = 10

For option B:

Total cost = 5*5 = $25

Number of pieces = 10

For option C:

Total cost = $20

Number of pieces = 12

For option D:

Total cost = $35

Number of pieces = 20

From the above, the best option to choose is option C.

This is because it has the least cost and the number of pieces is more than the needed.
