Answer:
0.36
Explanation:
Company sells drinks in packs and cases a bottle is 1/6 of pack and the pack is 1/12 of a case a case of the drink called 25.92 what is the price per bottle in a case
From the above question:
1 pack = 1/12 of a case.
1/12 of a case = 1 pack
1 case = x packs
Cross Multiply
1/12 × x = 1 × 1
x = 1 / 1/12
x = 1 × 12/1
x = 12 packs
This means, 1 case of drinks contains 12 packs of drinks
We are also told that: a case of the drink cost 25.92
This means the cost of 12 packs of drinks = 25.92
We are also told that:
a bottle is 1/6 of pack
1/6 pack = 1 bottle
1 pack = x bottles
Cross Multiply
1/6 × x = 1 × 1
x = 1 / 1/6
x = 1 × 6/1
x =6 bottles
This means, 1 pack of drinks contains 6 bottles of drinks
Hence:
12 packs of drinks = 25.92
1 pack of drinks = x
Cross Multiply
12x = 25.92
x = 25.92/12
x = 2.16
1 pack of drinks cost 2.16= 6 bottles of drinks cost 2.16
Therefore:
6 bottles of drinks = 2.16
1 bottle of drink = x
Cross Multiply
6x = 1 × 2.16
x = 2.16/6
x = 0.36
Therefore, the price per bottle in a case is 0.36
