Question

Sizes and prices of milk

1/4gallon:$1.80
1/2gallon:$2.10
1gallon:$4.25
2gallons:$5.98

Describe what will be the better buy if you plan to buy lots of milk.Support your answer with equations or verbal descriptions.

Answer 1

The best option is to buy 2 gallons for $5.98 because if you do your work and check how much everything else costs for 2 gallons (example: 1/4 gallons multiplied by 8 equals $14.40 which is 2 gallons) you'll see that everything else is too expensive, and the 2 gallons for $5.98 is the best answer.

I hope this helps :)
