They are both equally good values.v

Answer 1

To determine which peach option is a better buy, we need to calculate the unit price (price per peach) for both options.

Option 1:

• Price: $3.60 for 8 peaches
• Unit price: \( \frac{3.60}{8} = 0.45 \) dollars per peach

Option 2:

• Price: $1.84 for 4 peaches
• Unit price: \( \frac{1.84}{4} = 0.46 \) dollars per peach

Now, comparing the unit prices:

• Option 1: $0.45 per peach
• Option 2: $0.46 per peach

Since $0.45 is less than $0.46, Option 1 is the better buy.

So the answer is: Option 1.
