Answer:

The grapes at the food mart are cheapest.

Explanation:

First, you need to find out the cost for just one pound of grapes. You take $4.99 and divide it by 4 (the number of pounds) to get about $1.25 per pound from the supermarket. Now you do the same thing for the food mart. $6.99 divided by 6 is about $1.17. Therefore, the grapes at the food mart are cheaper.

Hope this helps!
