Question

(D) 45 1. A store sells 8-ounce containers of orange juice at $0.69 each and 12-ounce containers of orange juice at $0.95 each. How much money will be saved by purchasing a total of 48 ounces of orange juice in 12-ounce rather than 8-ounce containers?​

Answer 1

Answer:$0.34 will be saved by purchasing the orange juice in 12-ounce containers.

Explanation:

To calculate the amount of money saved by purchasing a total of 48 ounces of orange juice in 12-ounce containers instead of 8-ounce containers, we need to compare the cost of purchasing the same quantity in each container size.

Let's calculate the cost of purchasing 48 ounces of orange juice in 8-ounce containers:

Number of 8-ounce containers needed = 48 oz / 8 oz = 6 containers

Cost of 6 containers at $0.69 each = 6 * $0.69 = $4.14

Now, let's calculate the cost of purchasing 48 ounces of orange juice in 12-ounce containers:

Number of 12-ounce containers needed = 48 oz / 12 oz = 4 containers

Cost of 4 containers at $0.95 each = 4 * $0.95 = $3.80

Therefore, the money saved by purchasing a total of 48 ounces of orange juice in 12-ounce containers instead of 8-ounce containers is:

$4.14 - $3.80 = $0.34

So, $0.34 will be saved by purchasing the orange juice in 12-ounce containers.
