Respuesta :
Find the unit rate for each
$8.31/3 pounds= $2.77 per pound
$12.95/5 pounds= $2.59 per pound
Final answer: The second option is better because you are paying less per pound (2.59<2.77).
We can find the answer by dividing each price by the amount of pounds and then seeing which number is bigger. Lets try...
8.31/3=2.77
12.95/5=2.59
Since the 12.95 deal allows you to get one pound for just 2.59, that is the better deal.
Hope this helps!
