Explanation:

Step1: Calculate Ben's bag rate

$\text{Ben's rate} = \frac{25}{20} = 1.25 \text{ bags per minute}$

Step2: Calculate Corinne's bag rate

$\text{Corinne's rate} = \frac{27}{24} = 1.125 \text{ bags per minute}$

Step3: Compare the two rates

$1.25 > 1.125$

Answer:

Ben filled goodie bags at a faster pace.
