Answer: 12-pound bag of cat food

Explanation:

12 pounds bag of cat food = $18

15 pounds bag of cat food = $24

Let's find the cost per pound of the 12-pound bag first

Take 18 divided by 12 = $1.50 per pound

Now find the cost per pound of the 15-pound bag

Take 24 divided by 15 = $1.60 per pound

So, buying a 12-pound bag of cat food is better because it is cheaper per pound.
