Question

A 48 ounce of juice costs $2.64 A 64 ounce container of the same juice costs $3.84.

a. Find the cost per ounce of each table

b. Which size container costs less per ounce

c. you want to buy 192 ounces of juice. How much do you save using the container size from part (b)?

Answer 1

the cost for table A cost per ounce is $0.18 and table B cost per ounce is $0.16
Table B cost less per ounce
for 192 ounces of juice, it will cost of table B $31.99 and table a and will cost $34.56 so the difference is $2.57

Answer 2

48 oz for 2.64 = 2.64/48 = 0.055 per oz
64 oz for 3.84 = 3.84/64 = 0.06 per oz
the 48 oz one cost less per oz <==

buying 192 oz....
the 0.06 per oz. one would cost u : 0.06(192) = 11.52
the 0.055 per oz. one would cost u : 0.055(192) = 10.56
so by using the container size from part b, u would save : 11.52 - 10.56 = 0.96...u would save 96 cents
