Answer 2

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

See attached image for table and graph.

Looking at Candy Lane, we can see that

1 cost 8

2 cost 16

3 cost 24

....etc

That tells us that unit rate is $8

Now, looking at graph of Best Fudge, we can see that

at x = 1, y = 3

at x = 2, y = 6

...

etc.

So we can say unit rate is $3.

Certainly, unit rate of Best Fudge is less than unit rate of Candy Lane. Answer choice B is right.
