Answer:

The best buy item is the Frito-Lay mi Variety Pack. Going for only 0.35 per item.

Explanation:

All I did was the equations and then I compared the answer, the lowest answer is the best buy since it is the lowest price found.

Frito-Lay:

9.88/28 = 0.35

Unit rate is 35 cents

Pringles:

6.48/18 = 0.36

Unit rate is 36 cents
Pack of 18:

11.21/18 = 0.6

Unit rate is 60 cents

Pack of 24:

15.85/24 = 0.66

Unit rate is 66 cents

GC:

14.75/30 = 0.49

Unit rate is 49 cents

Sweet Treats:

10.75/25 = 0.43

Unit rate is 43 cents

Comparing all of this data, it can easily be seen that the Frito-Lay mi Variety Pack is the best deal you can find out of these 6 deals.
