Question

Which is the better buy? 3-pound bag of rice for $2.25 9-pound bag of rice for $6.66​

Answer 1

Explanation:

To see which bag is the better buy, calculate how much each pound of rice would cost.

To do that divide the price by the amount of costs for each then compare those numbers

$2.25/3 = $0.75 per pound

$6.66/9 = $0.74 per pound

So the 9 pound bag of rice would cost 1 cent less per pound making it the better buy.
