Josh paid \( \$ 12.67 \) for a \( 6.08-\mathrm{kg} \) bag of dog food. A few weeks later, he paid \( \$ 12.95 \) for a \( 6.35-\mathrm{kg} \) bag at a different store. Find the unit price for each bag. Then state which bag is the better buy based on the unit price. Round your answers to the nearest cent. \( \begin{array}{l}\text { Unit price for the } 6.08-\mathrm{kg} \text { bag: } \\ \text { Unit price for the } 6.35-\mathrm{kg} \text { bag: } \\ \text { The better buy: } \\ \text { The } 6.08-\mathrm{kg} \text { bag per } \mathrm{kg} \\ \text { The } 6.35-\mathrm{kg} \text { bag per } \mathrm{kg}\end{array} \) Neither (They have the same unit price)

To find the unit price for each bag, you divide the total cost by the weight of the bag in kilograms. For the 6.08-kg bag: \[ \text{Unit price} = \frac{12.67}{6.08} \approx 2.08 \] For the 6.35-kg bag: \[ \text{Unit price} = \frac{12.95}{6.35} \approx 2.04 \] Thus, rounded to the nearest cent, the unit prices are: - Unit price for the 6.08-kg bag: \$2.08 per kg - Unit price for the 6.35-kg bag: \$2.04 per kg The better buy is the 6.35-kg bag, as it has a lower unit price.
