Answer 1

Answer:

the better buy is that from the second store as it is cheaper than that purchased from the first store

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

First store :

Amount paid = $12.16

Pounds of shrimps = 4.07

Unit price :

Amount paid / pounds of shrimps

$12.16 / 4.07 = $2.9877

= $2.99 = 299 cents

second store :

Amount paid = $14.99

Pounds of shrimps = 5.11

Unit price :

Amount paid / pounds of shrimps

$14.99 / 5.11 = $2.933

= 2.93 = 293 cents

Hence, the better buy is that from the second store as it is cheaper than that purchased from the first store
