Question

Sheldon needs to buy 8 gallons of ice cream,

Prices of small size Price of large size
Cold farms $2.50 for 1 pint $4.50 for 1 quart.
Sweet dreams $4.25 for 1 quart $9.50 for one gallon.

Which size and brand of ice cream is the best deal?

Answer 1

Sweet Dreams Large Size (aka 9.50 for one gallon)

Explanation:

8 gallons = 32 quarts = 64 pints

Cold farms pint

2.50 x 64 = $160

Cold farms quart

4.50 x 32 = $144

Sweet dreams quart

4.25 x 32 = $136

Sweet dreams gallons

9.50 x 8 = $76

$76 dollars is the least out of them all, so that is the answer.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

The larger size container and the Cold farms is the better deal for Sheldon.

Explanation:

Given:

1 gallon = 8 pints

`2.50 * 8 =20`

Multiply the gallons to 20

8 × 20 = 160

Then, the large size is 18.

4.50 ×4 =18 (1 Gallon= 4 quartz)

Therefore, the larger size container and the Cold farms is the better deal for Sheldon.
