Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A fast food restaurant had 5 boxes of chicken nuggets for $33.95.

A competing restaurant had 4 boxes of chicken fingers for $26.96.

Now, to get the food which has a higher unit price.

So, to get the unit price we use unitary method:

5 boxes of chicken nuggets cost for = $33.95.

Thus, 1 box of chicken nuggets cost for = $\ 33.95\div 5 = \ 6.79.$

In a competing restaurant:

4 boxes of chicken fingers cost for = $26.96.

Thus, 1 box of chicken fingers cost for = $\ 26.96 \div 4 = \ 6.74.$
