To determine which is the best buy, you need to calculate the price per candy bar for each option.
First, divide the total cost by the number of candy bars for option a:
$19.25 ÷ 11 = $1.75
Next, calculate the price per candy bar for option b:
$15.39 ÷ 9 = $1.71
Now, calculate the price per candy bar for option c:
$17.30 ÷ 10 = $1.73
Finally, calculate the price per candy bar for option d:
$22.62 ÷ 13 = $1.74
Comparing the prices per candy bar, we can see that option b has the lowest price, at $1.71 per candy bar. Therefore, your choice of option b as the best buy is correct.
