The better deal will have the higher ratio of dollars per bagel.

To find the better deal, you must compare the fractions 8/7 and 6/9.

Comparng the fractions reveals that Betty has the better deal

bobbs bagels: 8/7 equals 1.14, so each bagel would cost about $1.14

bettys bagels: 6/9 equals 0.66, so each bagel would cost about $0.66
