Answer 1

Given

Brand A

12 forks for $ 1.12

Then, the unit price is:

`(1.12)/(12)=0.0933`

Unit price for the Brand A forks: $0.093

Brand B

25 forks for $2.69

So, the unit price is:

`(2.69)/(25)=0.1076`

Unit price for the Brand B forks: $0.11

Finally, the better buy based on the unit price is: Brand A
