Answer:

Lisa got a better deal and saved $1.50

Explanation:

first you have to find what the price for one avocado is

for sarah, you would do 2.4/3 to get 0.8

for lisa, 2.5/5 to get 0.5

to double check you can do 0.5 times 5 to get 2.5 and 0.8 times 3 to get 2.4

if sarah bought 5 avocados she would pay $4.00 instead of lisa's deal which is $2.50 for 5

hope this helps!
