Explanation:

The cost per bottle of 24 Gatorades would be:

• For Gatorade Zero Thirst Quencher Bottles: $0.63 x (24/18) = $0.84

• For Gatorade Thirst Quencher Sports Drink Variety Pack: $0.61 x (24/18) = $0.81

So, the better buy would be Gatorade Thirst Quencher Sports Drink Variety Pack as it has a lower cost per bottle.

I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
