Answer 2

D. Kitty Kibbles has a lower unit price of $1.30/pound.

Explanation:

Given :

A 16-pound bag of Kitty Kibbles is $20.80.

A 8-pound bag of Feline Flavor is $11.20.

Solution :

Cost of 16 pound bag of Kitty Kibbles = $20.80.

Cost of 1 pound bag of Kitty Kibbles =
`(20.80)/(16)`

= $1.3

Cost of 8 pound bag of Feline Flavor = $11.20

Cost of 1 pound bag of Feline Flavor =
`(11.20)/(8)`

= $1.4

Since cost of 1 pound bag of kitty is less than 1 pound bag of Feline i.e. $1.3<$1.4

Thus,Kitty Kibbles has a lower unit price of $1.30/pound.

Hence Option D is correct .
