Let's compare the prices of two different sizes of Purina puppy food.

For the 6lb bag, it costs $ 19.98.

Divide the total cost by the weight: 19.98 / 6 = $3.33 per pound.

For the 34 lb bag, it costs 71.98. Dividethetotalcostbytheweight:71.98/34=71.98.  Divide the total cost by the weight : 71.98 / 34 = 2.11 per pound.

So, the 34 lb bag of Purina puppy food is cheaper per pound compared to the 6lb bag.

Solution

The text is in English, so I'll continue in English.

The better deal depends on the quantity you want to buy and where you want to buy it from. If you want to buy a 6lb bag, it's cheaper at Walmart at 2.17perpound.Ifyouwanttobuyalargerquantity,the34lbbagischeaperperpoundat2.17 per pound. If you want to buy a larger quantity, the 34lb bag is cheaper per pound at 2.11, but it's not specified where this price is from.

However, it's important to note that while the price per pound is cheaper for the 34lb bag, you'll be spending more money upfront ($71.98). If you're okay with that and have a place to store the larger bag, it could be the better deal for you.

In conclusion, the 34lb bag gives you a better price per pound, but the 6lb bag at Walmart is the cheapest option if you want to spend less money upfront.
