    To calculate what is better deal we need to calculate how much 1 pound of dog food costs at both shops.

    First shop:

    4.99/20 = 0.2495$/pound

    Second shop:

    12.50/50 = 0.25$/pound

    This means that first shop had slightly better deal since at that place pound was a bit less expensive.
