Let us see...

50 head of cattle = 24,500

Divide everything by 50: 1 head of cattle = $490

37 head of cattle = 18,870

Divide the entire equation by 37: 1 head of cattle = $510

The second choice would cost a person $20 more than the first choice, so 50 head of cattle for $24,500 is a better buy.
