<u>First store:</u>
3/4 of bushel of apples for $9.
Let us find the rate of 1 bushel of apples.
In order to find the rate of 1 bushel of apples, we need to divide 9 by 3/4.
9 ÷ 3/4 = 9 × 4/3 = 3 × 4 = $12.
<h3>Therefore, rate of 1 bushel of apples in first store is $12.</h3>
<u>Second store:</u>
2/3 of bushel of apples for $9.
Let us find the rate of 1 bushel of apples.
In order to find the rate of 1 bushel of apples, we need to divide 9 by 2/3.
9 ÷ 2/3 = 9 × 3/2 = 27/2 = $13.5.
<h3>Therefore, rate of 1 bushel of apples in second store is $13.5.</h3>
<em>Rate of 1 bushel of apples is less than the rate of 1 bushel of apples in second store.</em>
<h3>Therefore, first store has better deal.</h3>
