Solution

Step by step explanation:

Using the data, we can calculate the price per bottle for Brand A, which is:

24 / 2

= $12 per bottle

We also know that the slope of a line shows the rate of change, so the price per bottle for Brand B is $15.

The difference per bottle is 15 - 12 = Brand B is cost $3 more per bottle

The difference for 9 bottles will be: 9 * 3 = $27.

Therefore the answer will be $27
