Answer:

Small bag: £7.20 for 3 kg

Medium bag: £7.80 for 3 kg

Best value: small bag

Step-by-step explanation:

3 kg = 3000 g

Small bag: 60p/250 g = 0.24p/g

For 3000 g: 0.24p/g * 3000 g = £7.20

Medium bag: £1.30/500 g = 0.0026 £/g

For 3000 g: 0.0026 £/g * 3000 g = £7.80

Large bag:

For 3000 g: £7.50

Best value: small bag
