190/1.49 = 127.5 grams/dollar.
850/6.99 = 121.6 grams/dollar.
get the unit price per g,
$1.49/190g = .0078...
$6.99/850 = .0082
I noticed that Henry2 found how much you get for your dollar,
while mine is how many does it cost per unit of mass.

In Canada, where I live, the unit price of most grocery items would
be expressed as cost/100 g.

The same is true when finding fuel efficiency of cars
In the US, it is expressed as "so many miles"/gallon, whereas
elsewhere it would be expressed as "how many litres"/100 km.

Just curious.
