15. Which is a better buy? Option A: $12.95 for 3 pounds of boiled peanuts Option B: $21.45 for 5 pounds of boiled peanuts. (1 point) Responses Option A Option A Option B

Answer 1

To determine which option is a better buy, we can calculate the price per pound for both options.

Option A: Price: $12.95 for 3 pounds Price per pound = $12.95 / 3 = $4.32 per pound

Option B: Price: $21.45 for 5 pounds Price per pound = $21.45 / 5 = $4.29 per pound

Now, comparing the price per pound:

• Option A: $4.32 per pound
• Option B: $4.29 per pound

Since $4.29 (Option B) is less than $4.32 (Option A), Option B is the better buy.
