Unfortunately, the parents at the school are complaining that the cookies
have too much sugar in them.
4. Fred wants to make the cookies healthier and there are two options.
Each option costs more than regular sugar because sugar substitutes are
more expensive. Below are the two options.

Fred’s mom is unsure about spending more money. Help Fred explain to his
mom, in a letter, why he should change the recipes to use a sugar substitute
and be sure to explain which one is the better deal. Use words, diagrams,
and numbers to explain your answer.
