Question

A 16 pound bag of Kitty Kibbles is $24. An 8-pound bag of Feline Flavor is $11.20 . Which statement about the unit prices is true?

Answer 1

Feline Flavor is less expensive per pound.

Explanation:

A unit price has a 1 in the denominator

To find the unit price, we take the price and divide by the amount.

Kitty Kibbles: $24 for 16 lbs

$24/16 = $1.50 per lb

Feline Flavor: $11.20 for 8 lbs

$11.20 / 8 = $1.40 per lb

Feline Flavor is less expensive per pound.
