A farmer wants to buy a 10 kg bag of fertilizer (organic soil). He has the choice between two merchants. Merchant A sells the 10 kg bag for $10 and the bag indicates that the fertilizer is completely dry. Merchant B sells the 10 kg bag for $8 and the bag indicates that the fertilizer has a water content equal to 20%. If the farmer wishes to buy the least expensive solid constituents, which merchant should he buy from?
