C) 24 bottles for $3 by 75¢ per bottle
D) 36 bottles for $4 by 1.4¢ per bottle

Answer 1

Answer: The answer Is A hope this helped

Answer 2

D) 36 bottles for $4 by 1.4¢ per bottle

Explanation:

We calculate bottle per dollar for each option.

#A

Bottles/Dollar=
`(24\ bottles)/(\$3)=8` bottles/dollar

#Both B and C charges the same as A and will have bottle/dollar ration of 8:1

#D

`=(36)/(4)\\\\=9`

Hence, D is the better buy as it gives you 9bottles per $1 spent as compared to the 8 bottles per $1 spent as in the other 3 options.
