A corn vendor at a farmer's makert was selling a bag of 8ears of corn for 2.56 Another Vendor was selling a bag of 12 for 4.32 Which bag is the better deal?

Sagot :

For both vendors, we need to obtain the price for an ear of corn to determine which bag is a better deal.

For the first vendor, we can obtain the cost of an ear of corn by dividing the price by the ears of corn, as follows:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{2.56}{8}=0.32 \\ 0.32\text{ per ear of corn} \end{gathered}[/tex]

As for the second vendor, we need to do exactly the same calculation:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{4.32}{12}=0.36 \\ 0.36\text{ per ear of corn} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, the better deal is the bag being sold by the first vendor
