Answer:
1.10 for 3 is the better deal. It will cost $6.24 for the pencils.
Explanation:
Do two separate problems but find how much it is for 1 carrot. So the first is:$1.10 divided by 3 carrots = .366 or 37 cents per carrot.
The second one is: .78 divided by 2 carrots = .39 cents per carrot.
If you break 24 students into groups of 3, that would be 8 groups. 24 divided by 3 = 8.
8 sets of 3 pencils is .78 x 8 = $6.24
