Answer 1

It is better to buy it now, that is, a few weeks after the first purchase since it is cheaper ($12.95 for a 6,35 kg bag)

Explanation:

We must calculate the unit price in each case. We calculate the unit value by dividing the price by the quantity in kg, like this:

`\begin{gathered} \text{ Before: }(12.67)/(6.08)=2.08 \\ \text{ AFter: }(12.95)/(6.35)=2.04 \end{gathered}`

Saying that before the price was $ 2.08 per kilogram and later it is $ 2.04 per kg.

The best sale is $12.95 for a 6,35 kg bag
