Use the newspaper grocery ads to help learn more about unit pricing. Find ads for items that list package size and cost. Determine the total standard units in the package, such as the number of grams, kilos, litres etc. Then figure the price per standard unit. How can this information help you as a consumer? Choose several newspaper advertisements that feature products that are on sale. Using the sale price and the regular price, figure the per cent of savings for at least five products. Which item has the highest percentage of savings? Are percentages used in the ad, especially in the headline? Are the figures accurate? How could pricing information be presented for a least one product to make sure a consumer understands it clearly? |
