Jacob needs 48 ounces of tomatoes for the spaghetti sauce. He is choosing between two brands of tomatoes. A 2-column table with 2 rows. Column 1 is labeled Brand A with entries 8 ounces, 2 dollars and 99 cents. Column 2 is labeled brand B with entries 16 ounces, 4 dollars and 99 cents. Find the unit rate for each brand. Round to the nearest cent (hundredth).

there are lots of ways.   pick's theorem tells us if the vertices are lattice points the area a is

a = b/2 + i - 1

where b is the number of boundary lattice points and i is the number of interior lattice points.

in the figure i count b=16, i=50 so

a = 8 + 50 - 1 = 57

let's try the shoelace formula.   the area is half the sum of the cross products of the sides.  

a(-2,6)   -2(2)-6(-5) = 26

b(-5,2)   -5(-3) - 2(-2) = 19

c(-2,-3) -2(-3) - (-3)(4) = 18

d(4,-3)   4(3) - (-3)(5) = 27

e(5,3)   5(3) - 3(1) = 12

f(1,3)     1(6) - 3(-2) = 12

a(-2,6)

each of the cross products is twice the area of the triangle with the associated side and one vertex the origin. so the area of abo=26/2=13.

area = (1/2) (26 + 19 +   18 + 27 + 12 + 12) = 57

that checks!
