we know that
A ratio says how much of one thing there is compared to another thing.
case a) $3.00 for 6 bagels
R a t i o = 6 3 ​ = 2 1 ​
that means $1.00 for 2 bagels
case b) $9.00 for 24 bagels
R a t i o = 24 9 ​ = 8 3 ​
that means $3.00 for 8 bagels

The cost per bagel in Case 1 is $0.50 while in Case 2 it is $0.375, indicating that buying 24 bagels for $9.00 offers better value. The ratios can be simplified to show this difference. Therefore, Case 2 is the more economical choice for bagels.
