Answer 1

To find out which size bag is cheaper per pound, we need to calculate the price per pound for each bag.

For the 40 pound bag:
Price per pound = $30.99 / 40 pounds = $0.77475

For the 10 pound bag:
Price per pound = $12.98 / 10 pounds = $1.298

Comparing the two price per pound values, we can see that the 40 pound bag is cheaper per pound.

Therefore, the 40 pound bag is cheaper per pound.
