Answer 1

Power Bars are cheaper!

Explanation:

FG: $18/12 Bars = $1.50 per bar

PB: $21.75/15 Bars = $1.45 per bar

Answer 2

Super Power bars

Explanation:

In order to find the best price, we want to calculate the unit rate, or the price for each bar. Let's start with the Fee Great energy bars. Since they are $18 for 12 bars, we divide 18 by 12 to figure out how much each bar costs. We get 1.5, or $1.50 per bar. Next lets claculate the unit rate for the Super Power bars. Since its $21.75 for 15 bars, we divide 21.75 by 15. We get 1.45, or $1.45 per bar. Since the price for one bar is cheaper for the Super Power bars as $1.45 is less than $1.50, the Super Power bars are the best price for each bar.
