Word problem you can buy 5 cans for green beans at the village market for $2.00. you can buy 10 of the same cans of beans at sam's club for $5.50. which place is the better buy?

Find the price per can for each place. Village Market : $2.30 per 5 cans= $0.46 per can. Sam's Club: $4.30/10 cans = $0.43 per can.  $0.43 per can at Sam's Club is less than $0.46 per can at Village Market, so Sam's Club is the better buy.
