By calculating the price per hot dog bun at both Walmart and Costco, we find Walmart offers a better deal at $0.25 per bun compared to Costco's $0.35 per bun.

Step-by-step explanation:

Comparing Hot Dog Bun Prices

To determine which store offers the better deal on hot dog buns, we can calculate the cost per bun at each store and then compare the prices. Let's create two tables to compare the prices of hot dog buns at Walmart and Costco:

Walmart

• 8 hot dog buns for $2.00
• Cost per bun = $2.00 ÷ 8 buns = $0.25 per bun

Costco

• 16 hot dog buns for $5.60
• Cost per bun = $5.60 ÷ 16 buns = $0.35 per bun

Comparing the two, Walmart sells hot dog buns at $0.25 per bun, while Costco sells them at $0.35 per bun. Therefore, Walmart offers the better deal for hot dog buns.

Answer 2

The better deal is Walmart
