Based on the given data, we can compare the amount of sodium per cracker for each cracker type.
For Cracker 1, the amount of sodium per cracker can be calculated by dividing the milligrams of sodium by the number of crackers.
For example, for the first row, the amount of sodium per cracker is 520/20 = 26 milligrams.
Similarly, we can calculate the amount of sodium per cracker for all the rows in the Cracker 1 table.
For Cracker 2, we can do the same calculation.
For example, for the first row, the amount of sodium per cracker is 200/16 = 12.5 milligrams.
Comparing the amount of sodium per cracker for both cracker types, we can see that Cracker 2 has less sodium per cracker.
Therefore, Cracker 2 has less sodium per cracker than Cracker 1.
