Julia went to buy swedish fish for a birthday party. one store had a 750g bag for $4.49 and and another store had a 425g bag for $2.29. which bag was the better deal?

425g bag

Step-by-step explanation:

750g / 449cents = 1.67 gram per cent

425g / 2.29cents = 1.86 gram per cent

750g bag for $4.49

Step-by-step explanation:

Because You can divide these numbers :

4.49/750 = 167 (the more the number the less better of a deal)

2.29/425 = 185

Answers and Step-by-step explanations:

A.

One pair of similar triangles are ΔGBC and ΔEBP.

B.

∠GBC and ∠EBP are vertical angles, so by definition, they are congruent. We also know that since GRPC is a parallelogram, then opposite sides are parallel, so GC ║ RE. Then, since GE is a transversal of these two lines, ∠CGB and ∠PEB are alternate interior angles. By definition, they are congruent.

Thus, by the Angle-Angle Similarity Theorem, ΔGBC ~ ΔEBP.

C.

Similar triangles have the property that corresponding sides have the same ratio. Here, GB corresponds to EB, BC corresponds with BP, and GC corresponds to EP.

We know that BC / BP = 350 / 250. So, this ratio is equivalent to GB / EB and GC / EP:

GB/EB = GC/EP = 350/250

GB = 450 and GC = 400, so:

450/EB = 400/EP = 350/250

Solve for EB and EP separately:

450/EB = 350/250

350EB = 112500

EB = 2250/7 ft

400/EP = 350/250

350EP = 100000

EP = 2000/7 ft
