Company A = $13

Company B = $12.73

Company B

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the unit cost for each company, divide the price of chocolate by the number of pounds

Unit cost = price ÷ total pounds offered

Company A

$32.50 ÷ 2 1/2

$32.50 ÷ 5/2

$32.50 x 2/5  = $13

Company B

$35 ÷ 2 3/4

$35 ÷ 11/4

$35 X 4/11 = $12.73

$12.73 is less than $13. Company b has a lower price per pound
