Answer 1

The answer is Barbara's Produce Stands.

Answer 2

Answer: Barbara’s stand has the better buy

Step-by-step explanation:

Als stand:

6 tomatoes = 0.9$
1 tomato = 0.9/6
1 tomato = 0.15$

Barbara stand:

11 tomatoes = 1.54$
1 tomato = 1.54/11
1 tomato = 0.14$

Thus, Barbara stand is cheaper and can sell a lot better than Als’s stand.
