Complete question :

Sweets are sold loose, or pre-packed in 120g bags.The 120g bags are £1.49 each.The loose sweets are £0.89 for 100g.

By calculating the price per gram, determine which is better value.

Answer:

100 g bag

Explanation:

For the 120g bag:

Price per gram :

Price / Numbe of gram

1.49 / 120 = 0.0124 gram per bag

For the 100 g bag :

0.89 / 100

= $0.0089per gram

Then the 100g bag is of better value
