1) (25t + 32v + 40s) + 0.10(25t + 32v + 40s)

2) (25t + 32v + 40s) - 0.10(25t + 32v + 40s)

the best buy, is the 4- kilogram bag of lollipops for $18.40.

step-by-step explanation:

i found my answer by dividing the cost of each bag by their respective weights.

14.88 divided by 2 = 7.44

17.29 divided by 3 = 5.77

18.4 divided by 4 = 4.6

24.4 divided by 5 = 4.88

by this, i found that the 4 kilo bag is the best buy.
