$1.02 for 35 g

B.
$2.25 for 80 g

C.
$2.05 for 75 g

D.

Answer 1

The easiest way is to make sure you have the same amount for each of the questions.

For example if you want to compare C and D you would multiply C by 2 and D by 3.

If you want to compare them all at once you would need to cross-multiply with all 4 of them.

Answer 2

I don't get it.

Answer 3

If you want to get 150g of C you would need to buy 2 packages of C, while if you want to get 150g of D you'd need 3 packages.

Answer 4

oh

Answer 5

so it's C?

Answer 6

well, it could be, but you'd need to compare them all
