Answer:
$7.99 for 1/2 pounds cost less per pound
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The unit rate is equal to divide the total cost by the total weight
step 1
Find out the unit rate of the first package
$11.25 for 2/3 pounds
The unit rate is
[tex]11.25:\frac{2}{3}=\frac{33.75}{2}=\$16.875\ per\ pound[/tex]
step 2
Find out the unit rate of the first package
$7.99 for 1/2 pounds
The unit rate is
[tex]7.99:\frac{1}{2}=\frac{15.98}{1}=\$15.98\ per\ pound[/tex]
therefore
The second package cost less per pound
