Answer 1

12−pack of 1.8 ounce bars has the better price per bar

Explanation:

a) 10−pack of 2.5 ounce bars $ 19.50

10 pack = $19.50

1 pack = x

10 packs × x = $19.50 × 1

x = $19.50 × 1/10 packs

x = $1.950

12−pack of 1.8 ounce bars 18.75

12 pack = 18.75

1 pack= x

12 packs × x = 1 pack × 18.75

x = 18.75/12

x =$ 1.5625

From the calculation above:

12−pack of 1.8 ounce bars has the better price per because it cost $1.5625
