Answer:

Buy 2 lollipops for $2.

Explanation:

If you divide the total price by total items purchased, you get the price per unit. 2/2=1 or around $1, while 40/30=4/3 or around $1.3. You are paying 1$ per lollipop for the 2 lollipop choice and paying 1.3 dollars per lollipop for the 30 lollipop choice.
