Answer:

Pop Secret

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to know how much each packet costs for the two brands.

Divide the total cost by the number of packets.

3.28 divided by 5   =   .66

and

4.99 divided by 7    =   .71

So, the better deal is Pop Secret because their packets are .05 cheaper.

Another way to look at it,....  if you were to buy 7 of the Pop Secret at .66 ea., you'd spend $4.60 compared to buying 7 of the Jiffy Pop (at .71 ea.) for $4.99 - a savings of .39.
