Latoya paid $17.64 for a 7.94-kg bag of dog food. A few weeks later she paid $18.88 for an $8.39-kg bag at a difference store. Find the unit price for each bag. Then state which bag is the better buy based off the unit price. Round your answer to the nearest cent

the price of the first store is cheaper by 0.03 dollars (2.25 - 2.22), that is to say 3 cents

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the unit price we must divide by the price by the weight, thus we will obtain the value for each kilogram of dog food:

First price:

17.64 / 7.94 = 2.22

In other words, the price is 2.22 dollars per kilogram.

Second price:

18.88 / 8.39 = 2.25

In other words, the price is 2.25 dollars per kilogram.

Which means, that the price of the first store is cheaper by 0.03 dollars (2.25 - 2.22), that is to say 3 cents.

Answer: The answer is given below

Step-by-step explanation:

From store 1:

Latoya paid $17.64 for a 7.94-kg bag of dog food. The unit price will be the price paid divided by the quantity. This will be:

= $17.64/7.94

= $2.22 per kg

For store 2:

A few weeks later she paid $18.88 for an $8.39-kg bag at a difference store. The unit price in the second store will be: $18.88/8.39 = $2.25 per kg.

The unit price of the first store is a better buy because the price is cheaper.
