The better value is the loose sweets


Find the unit rate in both cases

Pre-packed

\(\frac{1.49}{120}\frac{\£}{g}= 0.0124\frac{\£}{g}\)

Loose

\(\frac{0.89}{100}\frac{\£}{g}= 0.0089\frac{\£}{g}\)

The better value is the loose sweets

Because

\(0.0089\frac{\£}{g}<0.0124\frac{\£}{g}\)

The option that has the better value is the loose sweets.
