    24 minibites

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The cost of protein in the snack pack is ...

    $0.50 / (4 g) = $0.125/g

    The cost of protein in the minibites is ...

    $0.12 / (1 g) = $0.120/g

    Since the cost of protein is less for minibites, and the only criterion is the amount of protein, the lowest-cost snack mix is 24 minibites.
