Jackie needs to buy chicken feed for her chickens. She can buy a 40-
pound bag for $30.99 or a 10-pound bag for $12.98. Which size bag is
cheaper per pound? Round to the nearest penny, if necessary.



Answer :

Answer:

40-pound bag

Reason:

10 pound bag: 12.98/10 = 1.29

Thats a dollar a pound.

40 pound bag: 30.99/40 = 0.77

Thats less than a dollar a pound

Another way to solve would be mutiplying 12.98 times 4

12.98 x 4 = 51.92

40$ < 51.92$
