If you would like to know which one of the options is better to buy, you can calculate this using the following steps:

3 sandwiches ... $4.95
1 sandwich ... $
x = ?
______________________
3 x = 1 4.95       /3
x = 4.95 / 3 = $1.65


4 sandwiches ... $6.72
1 sandwich ... $y = ?
______________________
4 * y = 1 * 6.72     /4
y = 6.72 / 4 = $1.68

Result: You should buy sandwiches from the first option ($1.65 < $1.68 per unit).
