A. meat, 1 lb. for $1.95 would = b. meat 2 lb. for $3.52 would = c. the best buy would be

You want to calculate the unit price for each option to compare and conclude which would be the best buy.

The unit price is the amount in dollars divided by the amount in pounds:

unit price = $ value / number of pounds

So, you get:

option A: $ 1.95 / 1 lb = $ 1.95 / lb

Option B: $ 3.52 / 2 lb  = $ 1.76 / lb

Given that 1.76 < 1.95 you know that the option B is the best buy.

the best buy would be 2 lb of meat for $ 3.52
