Solution

To determine which place has a better deal, we need to find out the price per watermelon at each place.

At the farmer's market, 2 watermelons cost 6.So,thepriceperwatermelonis6. So, the price per watermelon is 6 / 2 = $3.

At the grocery store, 4 watermelons cost 20.So,thepriceperwatermelonis20. So, the price per watermelon is 20 / 4 = $5.

Therefore, the farmer's market has a better deal because each watermelon costs 3there,comparedto3 there, compared to 5 at the grocery store. So, the answer is b) farmer's market.
