You have $10
to spend on carrots for your rabbits. Compare the prices for two different-sized bags. Which size is a better deal and why?
To determine which size is a better deal, we need to compare the prices per unit of carrots in each bag. Let's say the small bag costs $5 and contains 2 pounds of carrots, while the large bag costs $8 and contains 5 pounds of carrots.
Price per pound in the small bag: $5 / 2 pounds = $2.50 per pound
Price per pound in the large bag: $8 / 5 pounds = $1.60 per pound
Comparing the prices per pound, we see that the large bag is a better deal because it offers a lower price per pound of carrots ($1.60 per pound) compared to the small bag ($2.50 per pound). Therefore, you should choose the large bag as it provides more bang for your buck.
