Answer:

4 bottles of Water

Explanation:

First, we need to find how much each water costs. So, I created this equation below.

9/12=?

The answer to the equation is .75, or 75 cents.

So, we can now make yet another equation to find the amount to buy with 3 dollars.

3/.75=?

The answer to that equation is 4.

Thus, the answer is 4 bottles of water.
