the answer would be the crackers are more expensive per pound and by $0.14. if you divide the price of the cookies by the amount of pounds you would come up with about $5.36 per pound. and if you do the same with the crackers it would be about $5.50 per pound.

Cookies: $13.40 divided by 2.5 = $5.36
Crackers: $24.75 divided by 4.5 = $5.50
Therefore, Cookies are less.
