Answer:

A) $0.0194 per g

B) $0.21059 per g

the better buy is A

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first find the unit price, meaning the price per gram.

For option A, we have


(\$3.49)/(180g)


$\$0.0194/g$

For option B, we have


(\$1.79)/(8.5g)
=$\$0.21059$/g

Now, comparing the prices, we see that option A costs less per gram than option B. Therefore, the better buy is option A.
