Explanation / Answer

This clearly shows that KIM have more insect parts than PARIS.

Important calculations done in the table :

For golden raisins, 10 insects for 100 g but Paris takes only 50g so 10/2 = 5

For chopped dates, 5 insects for 100 g but Paris takes only 75 g so ¾ *5 = 3.75

For OJ (Orange Juice (I think) which comes under Citrius fruit juice, 2 larvae for 250 g but Paris takes only 100ml so 200/250 = 0.8

For Peanut butter 30 insect fragments per 100 g but Kim takes 50 g only so 30/2 =15

For bread 75 insect fragments per 50 g and Kim takes the same

For Tomato juice 2 maggots per 100 g but Kims takes only 50 g so 1
