Question

The AWP for a gallon (3785 ml) of antihistamine/ antitussive cough syrup is $18.75, with an additional 20% discount from the wholesaler. What is the cost of 1 pint of the medication?

Answer 1

The cost of 1 pint of the medication would be $1.875.

Explanation:

The AWP of 3785 ml ( 1 gallon ) cough syrup = $18.75

After an additional 20% discount from wholesaler the price would be

New price = 18.75 - (0.20 × 18.75)

= 18.75 - 3.75

= $15.00

Since 1 gallon ( 3785 ml) = 8 pints

Therefore, the price for 1 pint =
`(15)/(8)` = $1.875

The cost of 1 pint of the medication would be $1.875.
