The answer to your question is Brand B

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Brand A amount of 20 pencils cost $6

Brand B amount of 40 pencils cost $8.5

Process

1. - Calculate the unit price of each brand of pencils dividing the cost by the number of pencils

Brand A 6/20 = $0.3

Brand B 8.5/40 = $0.21

2. - Conclusion

Brand B is a better deal because you buy more pencils for a lower price.
