To decide which one is the better deal, you need to compare them on price per ear. So, the the first vendor is $2.56/8ears= $0.32/ear
the second vendor: $4.32/12 = $0.36/ear
The first vendor with the bag of 8 ears is the better deal!
Answer:
The better deal is first vendor bag.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : A corn vendor at a farmers market was selling a bag of 8 ears of corn for $2.56. Another vendor was selling a bag of 12 for $4.32.
To find : Which bag is the better deal?
Solution :
To compare which is better we find the unit rate of both vendor rate.
The selling price of first vendor of 8 ears of corn for $2.56.
The selling price of 1 bag is [tex]\frac{2.56}{8}[/tex]
The selling price of 1 bag is $0.32.
The selling price of second vendor of 12 ears of corn for $4.32.
The selling price of 1 bag is [tex]\frac{4.32}{12}[/tex]
The selling price of 1 bag is $0.36.
The unit price of first vendor bag is lower than second vendor.
So, the better deal is first vendor bag.
