Answer:

  • You paid less for the bottle this week
  • We paid $0.44 less this week.

Explanation:

How to Solve

Given: Cost of 1 sparkling bottle last week = $1.69

This week's cost of 4 bottles is $5.

To find: The cost of 1 bottle.

For finding how much we pay less this week, we have to subtract the cost of 1 sparkling bottle this week from the cost of 1 sparkling bottle last week.

Generally, they are $1.69 apiece, and this week they are 4 for 5$

This means that this week, they are $1.25 apiece, meaning you spend less, by about $0.44

This weeks is cheaper by 44 cents
