CE Debra paid $12.16 for a 4.07-pound bag of shrimp at one store. The following week, she paid $14.99 for a 5.11 -pound bag at another store.
Find the unit price for each bag. Then state which bag is the better buy based on the unit price.
Bound your answers to the nearest cent.

the better buy is that from the second store as it is cheaper than that purchased from the first store

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

First store :

Amount paid = $12.16

Pounds of shrimps = 4.07

Unit price :

Amount paid / pounds of shrimps

$12.16 / 4.07 = $2.9877

= $2.99 = 299 cents

second store :

Amount paid = $14.99

Pounds of shrimps = 5.11

Unit price :

Amount paid / pounds of shrimps

$14.99 / 5.11 = $2.933

= 2.93 = 293 cents

Hence, the better buy is that from the second store as it is cheaper than that purchased from the first store
