Answer 1

Dane is better off buying the half liter of water for $1.21

Explanation:

1/2 liter = $2.38

250 millilitre = $1.21

250 mm = 0.25 liter

$1.21 + $1.21 = $2.42 + $2.42 = $4.84

One liter from the 250 mm deal will equal $4.84.

So 4 liters from the 250 mm deal will equal $19.36.

$2.38 + $2.38 = $4.76

One liter from the half liter deal will equal $4.76.

So 4 liters from the half liter deal will equal $19.04.
