Question

Which is the bette buy 3 pints of

at $3.60 or 6 pints are all at $8.10

Answer 1

It is better to buy 6 pints at $8.10

Explanation:

To compare the cost per pint in each option, we can divide the total cost by the total number of pints.

For the first option, buying 3 pints at $3.60, the cost per pint is shown by the following:

3 pints ÷ $3.60 = $0.83 / pint

For the second option, buying 6 pints at $8.10, the cost per pint is shown by the following:

6 pints ÷ $8.10 = $0.74 / pint

Therefore, buying 6 pints at $8.10 is less expensive per pint than buying 3 pints at $3.60. Each pint when buying 3 at a time costs $0.83 whereas each pint when buying 6 at a time costs $0.74.
