Asked by Matt-Please Help

Abby can buy an 8 pound bag dog of food for $7.40 or a 4 pound bag of the same dog food for $5.38. Which is the better buy?

My answer: I would have to say to buy an 8 pound bag of dog food.

I am confused though if they are asking what math operation to do.

Please assist me if you can.

Figure out the cost per pound for each size bag.

Answered by Matt-Please Help
$1.345 or $1.35 is the cost per pound for a 4 pound bag

$0.925 or $0.93 is the cost per pound for an 8 pound bag

The better buy would be the 8 pound bag.
