Acorn 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.which bag is the better deal?

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!

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

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

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.

the required function is .

step-by-step explanation:

from the given table it is noticed that the graph passing through (-3,7), (0,4), (3,1) and (8,-4).

it is a linear function because the value of y is decrease by one as the value of x increase by 1.

the slope of the function is

the slope of the function is -1 and the y-intercept is 4.

the slope intercept form is

where, m is slope and b is y-intercept.

therefore the required function is . the graph of this function is shown below.
