Answer 1

Answer:

Bag 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Bag 1:

$14\ ounce = 3.50$

Bag 2:

$24\ ounce = 5.28$

Required

Which is a better buy

To get which buy is better, we first get the unit price of each bag.

$Unit\ Price = Amount/Size$

For bag 1:

$Unit\ Price = 3.50/14$

$Unit\ Price = 0.25$

For bag 2:

$Unit\ Price = 5.28/24$

$Unit\ Price = 0.22$

The best buy is the one with smaller unit price

Hence, bag 2 is better to buy
