Katrina is fostering a kitten and needs to purchase cat litter. clean cats costs $10 foe a 25-pound bag, and forever fresh costs $18 for a 40-pound bag. what is the cost per pound of the better deal?

Answer 1

To find the cost per pound for each option, we divide the total cost by the weight of the bag.

For Clean Cats:
Cost per pound = $10 / 25 pounds = $0.4/pound

For Forever Fresh:
Cost per pound = $18 / 40 pounds = $0.45/pound

Therefore, the cost per pound for Clean Cats is $0.4 and for Forever Fresh is $0.45.

Based on the cost per pound, the better deal would be Clean Cats as it is cheaper at $0.4 per pound.
