Jessica is buying several Bunches of Bananas
Find which set of banana offers is best buy
=> 10 pounds of bananas for 14.90 dollars
to get the answer, divide 14.90 by 10
=> 14.90 / 10
=> 1.49, thus, in every pound of bananas, the price is 1.49 dollars
Second Offer
=> 8 pounds of bananas for 12.08 dollars
=> 12.08 / 8
=> 1.51 dollars = the price of banana per 1 pound.

Thus, the best buy of banana offer is the 10 pounds for 14.90 dollars.
