Answer:

Bag 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Bag 1:

[tex]14\ ounce = 3.50[/tex]

Bag 2:

[tex]24\ ounce = 5.28[/tex]

Required

Which is a better buy

To get which buy is better, we first get the unit price of each bag.

[tex]Unit\ Price = Amount/Size[/tex]

For bag 1:

[tex]Unit\ Price = 3.50/14[/tex]

[tex]Unit\ Price = 0.25[/tex]

For bag 2:

[tex]Unit\ Price = 5.28/24[/tex]

[tex]Unit\ Price = 0.22[/tex]

The best buy is the one with smaller unit price

Hence, bag 2 is better to buy
