To determine the better buy, we can calculate the price per pound for both options:

For the first option, the price per pound is $12.95 / 3 pounds ≈ $4.32 per pound.

For the second option, the price per pound is $21.45 / 5 pounds = $4.29 per pound.

Comparing the two options, the second option is the better buy at $4.29 per pound.
