Respuesta :

Answer:

  24 minibites

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of protein in the snack pack is ...

  $0.50/(4 g) = $0.125/g

The cost of protein in the minibites is ...

  $0.12/(1 g) = $0.120/g

Since the cost of protein is less for minibites, and the only criterion is the amount of protein, the lowest-cost snack mix is 24 minibites.
