Answer 2

Answer:

The one that sells 10 tacos for $8.49

To get the better deal, you should find the selling prices for a single tacos in both cases  and compare the amounts.

In the first one, 10 tacos for $8.49

This means 1 tacos sells for $8.49/10 = $0.849

In the second one, 6 for $5.40, this means for a single tacos, the selling price is $5.40/6 =$0.9

The better deal is the first one that sells one taco for $0.849 compared to the second one that sells one tacos for $0.9
