Questions

1 answer

To determine which brand costs less per bag, we need to calculate the price per bag for each option.

  1. Double Cheese Crisps:

    • Price: $7.80
    • Number of bags: 10
    • Price per bag = Total Price / Number of Bags
    • Price per bag = $7.80 / 10 = $0.78
  2. Cheddar Skins:

    • Price: $11.85
    • Number of bags: 15
    • Price per bag = Total Price / Number of Bags
    • Price per bag = $11.85 / 15 = $0.79

Now we can compare the two prices per bag:

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

Conclusion: The Double Cheese Crisps costs less per bag at $0.78 compared to Cheddar Skins at $0.79.
