Answer 2

Village Market

Explanation:

for this question we need to find the unit rate (the rate for one of something).

in this case, we need to find the cost of one can at each store so we can

easily compare the cost to see which one is cheaper

it would be (total cost)/(total number of cans)

Village Market = $2.7/5 = .54 cents per can

Sam's Club = $6.5/10 = .65 cents per can

Since Village Market has a cheaper price per can, it is the better buy.
