B) $1.60
C) $2.40
D) $1.20

Answer 1

To calculate the cost difference of buying 80 ounces of juice in different bottles, we compare the costs of each option. By comparing the costs, we can find out how much money can be saved by buying in a certain option. The correct answer is A) $0.40.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the amount of money saved by buying 80 ounces of juice in 16-ounce bottles rather than in 10-ounce bottles, let's compare the costs of each option.

The cost of a 10-ounce bottle is $0.40, so the cost of 80 ounces in 10-ounce bottles would be:

80 ounces / 10 ounces per bottle = 8 bottles

8 bottles x $0.40 per bottle = $3.20

The cost of a 16-ounce bottle is $0.56, so the cost of 80 ounces in 16-ounce bottles would be:

80 ounces / 16 ounces per bottle = 5 bottles

5 bottles x $0.56 per bottle = $2.80

Therefore, you can save:

$3.20 - $2.80 = $0.40

So the correct answer is A) $0.40.
