Answer:

Ricardo's reasoning is not correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Find who got the better deal by dividing the price by the number of pounds of pretzels:

16.80/7 = $2.40 a pound

12.75/5 = $2.55 a pound

So, Josue got the better deal because he only spent $2.40 a pound on the pretzels, while Ricardo spent $2.55 a pound.

Ricardo did not get the better deal, because he spent more per pound on the pretzels.

Ricardo's reasoning is not correct.
