Answer 1

TEXPLANATION

For the 11.5-ounce package that costs $4.24. The unit price per pound is

$unit\text{ price}=\frac{cost}{quantity}=\frac{4.24}{11.5}=0.37$

For the 27.8-ounce package that costs $9.98.

$unit\text{ price}=\frac{9.98}{27.8}=0.36$

Answer: Box A = 0.37, Box B= 0.36. The better buy is the 27.8-ounce package
