Since 56 pints of Cold Farm ice cream cost $140, and 28 quarts of Cold Farm, ice cream cost $133, hence the large size container is the better deal for Sheldon.

From the table, we are told that 1 pint of Cold farm costs $2.50, this can be written as:

56pints of the cold farm will cost (56 * 2.50) = $140

Similarly, 1 quartz of Cold farm costs $4.75, this can be written as:

• 1quartz = $4.75

28pints of the cold farm will cost (28 * 4.75) = $133

56 pints of Cold Farm ice cream cost $140, and 28 quarts of Cold Farm, ice cream cost $133, hence the large size container is the better deal for Sheldon.
