Answer 1

Answer:

8 lb box

Step-by-step explanation:

Find which laundry detergent has a lower unit price

The unit price is how much something costs for a single unit

In this case, it is how much the detergent costs for 1 pound

7.4/8 lbs = 0.925 dollars per lb

5.38/4 lbs = 1.345 dollars per lb

Since 1.345 > 0.925, the 8 lb box is a better buy

Answer 2

Case 1

Cost of 8 pound detergent = $7.40

So, cost of 1 pound detergent

= $7.40 ÷ 8

= $0.925

Case 2

Cost of 8 pound detergent = $5.38

So, cost of 1 pound detergent

= $5.38 ÷ 4

= $1.345

$0.925 < $1.345

$0.925 < $1.345So, cost per pound in 8 pound box < cost per pound in 4 pound box

So, buying the 8 pound box is better.
