Chanel Walton · Answer 1

1.75 pounds costing 10.85 is better buy as it is cheaper at 6.2 per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

1.37 pounds cost 9.59

that is 1 pound = 9.59/1.37

= 7

for 1.75 pounds costing 10.85

1 pounds = 10.85/1.75

= 6.2

Therefore at this cost prices, 1.7 pounds costing 10.85 is better as it is cheaper

Tiara Obrien · Answer 2

The second one which is $10.85 for 1.75 pound is better to buy because the cost per pound of the second one is less than the cost per pound of the first one.
