Question

A 12 pack of sodas is priced at $5.40 and a 16 pack of sodas is priced at $6.72. Which is a better buy?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Explanation:

5.40/12= 0.45

6.72/16=0.42
