Question from john, a parent: What is the better price? |
Hi John,
The second bag costs $\$5.99$ and contains 2 cubic feet so each cubic foot costs $\large \frac{\$5.99}{2} = \$2.995 .$ The first bag bag costs $\$6.75$ and contains 2.7 cubic feet so each cubic foot costs $\large \frac{\$6.75}{2.7} = \$2.50 .$
