ANSWER:

Brand B

Explanation:

To know which of the two options is the cheapest, we must calculate the unit price, we can do it like this:


\begin{gathered} A=(22.75)/(7)=\text{ \$3.25} \\ B=(12.72)/(4)=\text{ \$3.18} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the value for Bran A is $3.25 and Brand B $3.18, therefore Brand B is cheaper
