Dorothy is buying chips at the grocery store. She needs to decide between Erik´s chips that are $3.84 for a 12 oz. bag and Al´s chips for $3.57 for a 8.5 oz. bag. Which chips are the better buy and by how much?

Erik's chips are a better buy by 10 cents per ounce

Step-by-step explanation:

Erik's chips cost by ounce: $0.32

Al's chips cost by ounce: $0.42

Sorry if this didn't help. This is my first answer

1.4

2.3

step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the constant of variation is

y= kx

divide each side by x

y/x =kx/x

y/x =k

we know a and y

1.   y/x = k

4/1 =4

check the other values to make sure they are the same

8/2 = 4   12/3 =4   and 16/4 =4  

the constant of variation is 4

2.   y/x = k

3/1 =3

check the other values to make sure they are the same

6/2 = 3   9/3 =3   and 12/4 =3  

the constant of variation is 3
