1 answer

First, we need to calculate the number of residents per deli in each town.

In Valleyview:
Population per deli = 1860 / 2 = 930 residents per deli

In Whitecourt:
Population per deli = 18,950 / 22 = 861 residents per deli

Therefore, Elvis should choose Valleyview as it has the higher number of residents per deli.
