So, it costs $0.17 for each bottle of water.

24 bottles of water for $3

3 / 24 = $0.125

So, it costs $0.125 for each bottle of water.

0.17 - 0.125 = $0.045

So, 24 bottles of water for $3 is a better buy by $0.045

Answer 2

12 pack: $2/12 = $0.17 per bottle
24 pack: $3/24 = $0.13 per bottle
The 24 pack is the better buy because you will be saving $0.04 per bottle.
