Answer:

The second vendor because when you purchase 6 liters, it costs less to get it from the second vednor.

Explanation:

Compare the price at 6 liters.

3.80(3)= $11.40

$2.70(4)= $10.80

Answer:
The second dealer is better.
Explanation:
To figure this out we need to divide the price by the amount of milk. Lets do both at the same time.
3.8/2= 2.7/1.5=
3.8/2=1.9 2.7/1.5=1.8
The second dealer is better.
