Question

A 64-ounce container of sports juice costs $6.50. A 48-ounce container of the same juice costs $4.25. Which size container is the better buy?

Answer 1

Answer:

48 Ounce is Better

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking the Values and all into account

Step1

Find where the two have the Same amount of Juice

64 x 3 = 192

48 x 4 = 192

Step2

Multiply the Amounts of each Juice by the Same Amount you multiplied them in step 1

6.50 x 3 = 19.50 for 192 Ounces

4.25 x 4 = 17.00 for 192 Ounces

Therefore you pay Less at the End of the Day for the Same Amount of Juice

Answer 2

Answer:

The 64 ounce container is the better buy

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which is the better buy, determine the cost per ounce of each.

For the 64 ounce container:

COST =  6.50 /64

   

=  0.102 0. DOLLAR PER OUNCE

For the 48 ounce container

COST=  4.95 /48

=  4.95  dollar per ounce  

The larger container is the better buy because it costs less per ounce
