Question

A corn vendor at a farmer's market was selling a bag of 8 ears of corn for $2.56. Another vendor was selling a bag of 12 for $4.32. Which bag is the better deal? Explain or show your reasoning.

Answer 1

First one because if you cut it down you can get 12 corn for a dollar less.

Answer 2

The first one because if you are attempting to get the same amount of corn from both bags you can get 16 ears of corn for only a few more cents than the bag of 12. Let me know if this helps!
