Help me plan a birthday party for our class of 21 students.  A birthday cake that costs $9.00 can serve 8 people and a larger cake that costs $13 can serve 12 people.   Which size cakes should I buy for our party to get the best deal?  Why?  















For 4th and 5th graders:  Suppose there is also a cake that will serve 6 people for $8.00 and another class of 21 students join our party.  Which size cakes should I buy now to get the best deal?  Why?
