Question

$6.29 for 40 bags or $3.89 for 24 bags

Answer 1

To determine which option offers a better price per bag, we'll calculate the cost per bag for each option.

1. **Option 1: $6.29 for 40 bags**
\[
\text{Cost per bag} = \frac{6.29}{40} = 0.15725 \text{ dollars per bag} \approx 15.73 \text{ cents per bag}
\]

2. **Option 2: $3.89 for 24 bags**
\[
\text{Cost per bag} = \frac{3.89}{24} = 0.16125 \text{ dollars per bag} \approx 16.13 \text{ cents per bag}
\]

Comparing the two costs:
- Option 1 costs approximately 15.73 cents per bag.
- Option 2 costs approximately 16.13 cents per bag.

Therefore, **Option 1 ($6.29 for 40 bags)** is the better deal.
