Answer 2

loose sweets

Explanation:

Let's find the price of the pre-packed and loose candy per gram, since they specified that you need to calculate the price per gram.

A better value would mean that the price is lower per gram.

pre-packed candies

120g ----- £1.49

1 ----- 1.49 ÷120= £0.0124 (3 s.f.)

loose sweets

100g ----- £0.89

1g ----- £0.89 ÷100= £0.0089

since £0.0089 < £0.0124, the loose sweets cost lesser per gram and thus is a better value.
