Answer: Nicholas got the better deal
Step-by-step explanation:
To answer the question first find the unit price of the items. You can find that by dividing the whole price by the the unit price.
Divide 17.75 by 3 4/5
Convert 3 4/5 to a decimal the divide.
3 4/5 = 3.8
17.75/3.8 = 4.67 which about 4 dollars 67 cents per pound of pistachios
Divide 19.50 by 4 7/10
19.50 / 4.7= 4.15 which is about 4 dollars and 15 cents per pound of pistachios
So as you could see Nicholas pay less per pound of pistachios so he got the better deal.
