Answer 1

$25 bag that holds 15 pounds of dog food

Explanation:

We know

There is a $10 bag that holds 8 pounds of dog food.

10 / 8 = $1.25 per pound

There is also a $25 bag that holds 15 pounds of dog food.

25 / 15 = $1.67 per pound

So, $25 bag that holds 15 pounds of dog food is a better buy.
