Michael, who really likes to have a bag of chips with his lunch, is comparing chip prices at the store. He can buy a 10-pack of Double Cheese Crisps for $7.80 or a 15-pack of Cheddar Skins for $11.85. Which brand costs less per bag?

Answer 1

To find out which brand costs less per bag, we need to calculate the price per bag for each type of chips.

1. Double Cheese Crisps:

   • A 10-pack costs $7.80.
   • Price per bag = Total cost / Number of bags
   • Price per bag = $7.80 / 10 = $0.78

2. Cheddar Skins:

   • A 15-pack costs $11.85.
   • Price per bag = Total cost / Number of bags
   • Price per bag = $11.85 / 15 = $0.79

Now, we compare the prices per bag:

• Double Cheese Crisps: $0.78 per bag
• Cheddar Skins: $0.79 per bag

Thus, the Double Cheese Crisps costs less per bag.
