Answer:

Eight 6-packs

Explanation:

6-pack of hot dogs for 5.10$

8-pack of hot dogs for 6.88$

To figure out the answer, we compare the prices:

The price of six 8-packs is $41.28 ($6.88 x 6)

The price of eight 6-packs is $40.80 ($5.10 x 8)

As we can see, the cheaper option would be to buy eight 6-packs, which is our answer.
