# Solution:

a) 10 sparklers $=4$ garlands = 16 ornaments = $\mathbf{32}$ crackers. (1 point)

b) Convert everything to crackers. In the first case, we have $\mathbf{11}$ crackers. In the second case, 2 sparklers $=4 / 5$ garlands $=16 / 5$ ornaments $=32 / 5$ crackers $=\mathbf{6.4}$ crackers. Answer: 5 ornaments and 1 cracker are more expensive than 2 sparklers. (1 point for converting each set to a single unit + 1 point for the correct answer)
