Answer:

The coldrink is more expensive in Can form.

Can is $0.044/oz more expensive than bottle

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Cost of 12-oz can = 75 cents = $0.75

Cost of 2 Liter bottle = $1.25

Now,

Cost per oz for can = $0.75 ÷ 12

= $0.0625/oz

For bottle

Total oz contained = 2 × 1.057 × 32 oz [As 1.0 L = 1.057 qt, 1 qt = 32 oz]

= 67.648 oz

Therefore,

Cost per oz for bottle = $1.25 ÷ 67.648 oz

= $0.0185/oz

Hence,

The coldrink is more expensive in Can form.

Difference = $0.0625/oz - $0.0185/oz

= $0.044/oz

Hence,

Can is $0.044/oz more expensive than bottle
