Answer:

So, its better to buy larger bag

Step By Step Explanation:

Let

Smaller bag hold = x ounces

Price of x ounce in smaller bag = $ y

Price of 1 ounce in smaller bag = \frac{y}{x} ....(1

Larger bag will hold = x + 10 ounces

Price of x+10 ounces in larger bag = y + 1.5

Price of 1 ounce in larger bag = \frac{y + 1.5}{x + 10} ...(2

Now equation 1 tells that 1 ounce in smaller costs \frac{y}{x}, and equation 2 tells in ounce in larger bag costs \frac{y + 1.5}{x + 10} .

Now as we can see, we can get equation 2 from equation 1 by increasing numerator by 1.5 and denominator by 10. In this case denominator has increased more than numerator so the value of overall fraction \frac{y + 1.5}{x + 10} would be less than \frac{y}{x} . It means our larger bag has less price per ounce.

So, its better to buy larger bag
