Bag A: [tex]rate=\frac{220cents}{500g} =44cents/g[/tex]

Bag B:[tex]rate=\frac{565cents}{2,000g} =.28cents/g[/tex]

The bag of two kilograms is the better buy because it has a better unit rate and you get more for less.

Hope this helps, now you know the answer and how to do it. HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY! As well as a great rest of Black History Month! :-)
