First vendor sells 2 liters for $3.80.

Second vendor sells 1.5 liters for $2.70.

What is price per unit?

Price per unit is the cost of the sing unit or measure of goods or the service provided.

Price per unit is the ratio of the total cost to the number of units.

The vendor which provide more milk in less rate will be the better deal.

As first vendor sells 2 liters for $3.80. Thus the price of milk per liter is,

$P_1=\dfrac{3.80}{2} \\P_1=1.90$

Hence the first vendor sells the 1 liter milk in $1.90.

As Second vendor sells 1.5 liters for $2.70. Thus the price of milk per liter is,

$P_2=\dfrac{2.70}{1.5} \\P_2=1.80$

Hence the second vendor sells the 1 liter milk in $1.80.

Hence the second vendor sells 1 liter of fresh milk at $1.80 which is $0.10 less than the first vendor. Therefore the second vendor gives the better deal.
