Answer:

The large jar has a better value

Step-by-step explanation:

Amount of honey per penny for large jar using proportion;

£4.10 = 540g

£0.01 = ?g

= [tex]\frac{0.01}{4.10}[/tex] * 540g

= 1.32g per penny.

Small jar

£2.81 = 360g

£0.01 = ?g

= [tex]\frac{0.01}{2.81}[/tex] * 360g

= 1.28g per penny
