Does anyone know how I start this in python

Question

Suppose you shop for rice in two different packages. You would like to write a program to compare the cost. The program prompts the. user to enter the weight and price of the each package and displays the one with. the better price

weight 1 = 50
price for package 1= 24.59
weight 2 = 25
price for package 2 =11.99

Answer 1

That's just basic math fractions: you need to compute for each package the cost for same amount, usually the unit, so:

Suppose you shop for rice in two different packages. You would like to write a program to compare the cost. The program prompts the. user to enter the weight and price of the each package and displays the one with. the better price

weight_1 = 50
price_package_1= 24.59
weight_2 = 25
price_package_2 =11.99

absolute_price_package_1 = price_package_1 / weight_1
absolute_price_package_2 = price_package_2 / weight_2

if (absolute_price_package_1 < absolute_price_package_2) better_cost_package = 1
else if (absolute_price_package_1 > absolute_price_package_2) better_cost_package = 2
else better_cost_package = 0

so, better_cost_package contains the number of better cost package, or zero if both are same ^^

Answer 2

package1= eval(input("Enter the weight and cost of Package1 please: "))
package2= eval(input("Enter the weight and cost of Package2 please: "))
if package1 < package2:
print("Package2 is the better option")
if package2 < package1:
print("Package1 is the better option")
if package2 == package1:
print("No difference between the two packages")

Not sure if this is the best option to compare the two, however, it works.
