Question

You are planning an end of the year party for your math class. Your teacher needs help deciding which products are the better buy.

Determine the unit rate for each brand and determine what is the best purchase item.

a) What is the cost per bottle of 18 Gatorades?

b) What is the cost per bottle of 24 Gatorades?

c) Which is the better buy?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The cost per bottle of 24 Gatorades would be:

• For Gatorade Zero Thirst Quencher Bottles: $0.63 x (24/18) = $0.84

• For Gatorade Thirst Quencher Sports Drink Variety Pack: $0.61 x (24/18) = $0.81

So, the better buy would be Gatorade Thirst Quencher Sports Drink Variety Pack as it has a lower cost per bottle.

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
