Answer:

The 16 pack

Explanation:

Pack 1: $5.40 for 12

  • Find the price per soda by dividing the price by 12: $5.40 / 12 = $0.45 per can

Pack 2: $6.72 for 16

  • Find the price per soda by dividing the price by 16: $6.72 / 16 = $0.42

Therefore the 16 pack is the better buy because you purchase an extra 4 sodas for $0.03 less.
