To find the unit price you divide the total cost of the bag by the amount of pounds in the bag.

Thus, the unit price of Kitty Kibbles is 24/16, or 1.5. This means that each pound of Kitty Kibbles costs $1.50.

Also, the unit price of Feline Flavor is 11.20/8, or 1.4. This means that each pound of Feline Flavor costs $1.40

Feline Flavor is cheaper per pound than Kitty Kibbles (or Kitty Kibbles is more expensive than Feline Flavor per pound).
