Question

You want to buy juices while shopping at ShopRite but are stuck between buying a bottle of apple juice and orange juice. The apple juice is 2 Liters and costs $3.00 while the orange juice is 3 Liters and costs $3.99. Which juice bottle is the better deal?

Answer 1

Orange juice

Explanation:

The bottle of apple juice costs 3 dollars for 2 liters, and the bottle of orange juice costs 3.99 dollars for 3 liters. To see which bottle has the better deal, we need to make the liters the same so we can compare them.

We can divide the 2 liters for 3 dollars ratio by 2 to get that 1 liter of apple juice costs 1.5 dollars, and we can divide the orange juice ratio by 3 to get that 1 liter of orange juice costs 1.33 dollars. We see that for 1 liter, orange juice is cheaper, so it is the better deal.
