Answer: The better deal is the  8-ounce bag of sunflower seeds.

Step-by-step explanation:

 1. You have the following information given in the problem above:

-  The 8-ounce bag of sunflower seeds has a cost of $1.68.

- The 4-ounce bag of sunflower seeds has a cost of $0.88.

2. You must write the rates:

a) The 8-ounce bag of sunflower seeds:

[tex]\frac{1.68}{8}=0.21[/tex] dollars for 1 ounce.

b) The 4-ounce bag of sunflower seeds.

 [tex]\frac{0.88}{4}=0.22[/tex] dollars for 1 ounce.

3. Therefore, you can conclude that the better deal the is 8-ounce bag of sunflower that costs  $1.68.


First deal:

8 ounce bag → $1.68

4 ounce bag → $X


(1.68 × 4) ÷ 8 = $0.84


Second deal:

4 ounce bag → $0.88

8 ounce bag → $X


(0.88 × 8) ÷ 4 = $1.76


1.76 - 1.68 = $0.08


The best deal would be to buy the 8 once bag, because if you bought 2 4 ouce bags instead you would pay 8 cents more.


There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
