Answer 1

sam's club

I hope this is helpful

Explanation:

5 cans = $3.90

10 cans = x

cross multiply

10cans × $3.90 = 5cansx

divide through by 5 cans

10cans × $3.90 = 39 = $7.8

5cans 5

that means at the village they sell 10cans of green beans for $7.8

and sam's club sell 10cans for $6.5

that means sam's club is much less than the village market
