Respuesta :

Comparing the unit price of each bag of fries, the large bag of fries, which costs $0.014825 per gram, has the lower cost per gram than the other bag.

Unit price is defined as the price or the cost per unit of the item. The importance of the unit price is that it allows the buyer to understand how the total price has been calculated. Unit price can be solved by dividing the total cost to the total amount of the item.

unit price = total cost/total amount

Solving for the unit price of each bag of fries:

small bag : unit price = $1.39/80 grams = $0.017375/gram

large bag : unit price = $1.69/114 grams = $0.014825/gram

$0.014825 < $0.017375

large bag < small bag

Hence, the large bag which costs $0.014825 per gram has the lower cost per gram.
