c. The juice in the glass bottle is 10 cents cheaper per ounce.
d. The juice in the plastic bottle is 10 cents cheaper per ounce.

Answer 1

the answer is b

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

We first convert 1.5 Liters of bottled juice to units of ounce so we can compare the two.

1.5 L plastic bottled juice ( 34 oz / 1 L) = 51 oz of plastic bottled juice

We then divide the prices of each juice to their corresponding volume to get a units of dollars per ounce.

$4.20 / 60 oz of glass bottled juice = 0.07 dollars per ouce of glass bottled juice

$3.06 / 51 oz of plastic bottled juice = 0.06 dollars per ounce of plastic bottled juice

Thus, the answer is b. The plastic bottled juice is cheaper by 1 cent compared to the glass bottled juice.
