Question

Which is the better buy?

2-quart carton of pineapple juice for $2.00
7-cup carton of pineapple juice for $3.01

Answer 1

7-cup carton of pineapple juice for $3.01

Explanation:

2-quart carton of pineapple juice for $2.00

2.00 : 2 = 1.00

check your work: 1.00 x 2 = 2.00

so for the first offer you will be paying $1.00 per quart

7-cup carton of pineapple juice for $3.01

1 cups = 0.25 quarts

7 cups = 1.75 quarts

3.01 : 7 = 0.43

check your work: 0.43 x 7 = 3.01

for the second offer you will be paying $0.43 per quart of juice. 7-cup carton of pineapple juice for $3.01 is a better buy because you will be paying less than half of the price for each quart than the first offer.

hope this helps!
