Susan and John are buying cold drinks for a neighborhood picnic. Each person is expected to drink one can of soda. Susan says that if you multiply the unit price for a can of soda by the number of people attending the picnic, you will be able to determine the total cost of the soda. John says that if you divide the cost of a 12-pack of soda by the number of sodas, you will determine the total cost of the sodas. Who is right, and why?

Answer:

Susan is correct because to get the total cost, we multiply the unit price by the number of people attending.

John's method will find you the price of each individual can of soda. Susan's method will find you the total cost of the soda.
