Question

At Cheapmore supermarket, 1 litre of fruit juice cost R25 and 1,5 litres cost R34. Which juice is cheaper. Show your calculations.​

Answer 1

For the 1 litre of fruit juice, the cost per litre is R25.

For the 1.5 litres of fruit juice, we can calculate the cost per litre by dividing the total cost by the total volume:

Cost per litre = Total cost / Total volume
Cost per litre = R34 / 1.5 litres
Cost per litre = R22.67

Therefore, the 1.5 litres of fruit juice is cheaper, with a cost per litre of R22.67 compared to R25 for the 1 litre of fruit juice.
