Answer:he should buy 8 six-packs

Explanation:

The total number of hot dogs that the shopper wants to buy is 48.

The store sells identical hotdogs in two different friendly sized packages. They sell a six pack of hotdogs for $2.10. If he decides to buy this pack, he would require 8 of them. The total cost would be

8 × 2.10 = $16.8

Also, an eight pack of hotdogs is sold for $3.12. If he decides to buy this pack, he would require 6 of them. The total cost would be

6 × 3.12 = $18.72

Therefore, it is cheaper if he buys 8 six pack of hotdogs
