Question

Arturo buys 12 bottles of grapefruit juice at the corner store for a total cost of $8.64. If each bottle costs the same amount, how much is 16 bottles of juice?

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{\sf \$ \ 11.52}`

Explanation:

Given that,

12 bottles of juice = $8.64

Using unitary method.

Divide 12 to both sides

12/12 bottle of juice = $8.64/12

1 bottle of juice = $0.72

Multiply 16 to both sides

1 × 16 bottles of juice = $0.72 × 16

16 bottles of juice = $11.52

`\rule[225]{225}{2}`
