Answer:

Folgers coffee

Explanation:

Given,

In Folgers coffee,

The total price = $ 12.88

Number of cups = 80,

So, the cost of the coffee per cup =
\frac{\text{Total price}}{\text{Number of cups}}


=(12.88)/(80)

= $ 0.161

In Seattle’s Best,

The total price = $ 9.00

Number of cups = 50,

So, the cost of the coffee per cup =
(9)/(50)

= $ 0.18

∵ 0.161 < 0.18

Hence, the Folgers coffee is better value for each cup.
