Logic Breakdown
Passage Summary: Cats eat less weight in canned food because it's richer in calories, but owners still end up spending more money every day if they choose canned over dry.
Reasoning: Canned food is more calorie-dense than dry food, leading to lower consumption by weight, yet it remains the more expensive daily option.
Analysis: This is a numbers-and-percentages game. If a cat eats fewer ounces of canned food but the total daily cost is higher, the price per ounce of canned food must be significantly higher than that of dry food. We are looking for an inference that bridges the gap between 'eating less' and 'paying more.' Focus on an answer that addresses the relative cost per unit of weight or energy.
