Answer:

The 35 pound bag

Explanation:

If you divide the price of the 25 pound bag by the number of pounds it has you get 0.81 dollars per pound

20.25 / 25 = 0.81

However if you divide the price of the 35 pound bag by the number of pounds it has you get 0.79 dollars per pound

27.65 / 35 = 0.79

This means you get more dog food for less in the larger 35 pound bag
