Answer:

Medium

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

The cost for the small and medium bag is shown below:

As we know that

1kg = 1000g

So 3kg = 3000g

Now for small bags

= 0.95 ÷ 250 × 3000

= £11.40

For medium bags

= £1.80 ÷ 500 × 3000

= £10.80

So here the medium bag would represent the better value
