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.

When you have a negative exponent, you move the base with the negative exponent to the other side of the fraction to make the exponent positive.
For example:
or
or
When a base with an exponent is divided by a base with an exponent, you subtract the exponents together. (But you can only combine the exponents when the bases are the same)
For example:
(can't combine because they have different bases of y and x)
When you multiply an exponent directly to a base with an exponent, you multiply the exponents together.
For example:
First multiply the exponents together in the denominator
Now subtract the exponents together
(two negative signs cancel each other out and become positive)
