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? a.) 10 individual chicken breasts at $3 each b.) 5 two-packs of chicken breasts at $5 each c.) a 12-pack bag of chicken at $20 d.) a 20-pack bag of chicken at $35

The answer is: c.) a 12-pack bag of chicken at $20

In order to give all of the guests 2 pieces of the chicken, the Hendersons need to buy at least :

5guests x 2 = 10 pieces of chicken.

Now,  we just need to find which of the following options is cheaper.

Option A.

= 10 x $ 3  = $ 30

Option B

= 5 x $ 5 = $ 25

Option C

= $ 20 for all 12 pieces . . .  (the cheapest one)

Option D.

= $ 35 for all 20 pieces

 Technically if we count per pieces, option D has the lowest price per chiecken pieces. But since The Henderson only need 10 pieces, the best options for them would be Option C.
