Question

The price of a gallon of apple cider is $7.00. The price

of eight 4.23 ounce juice boxes is $2.39.
Peter wants to have at least a gallon of either only cider
or only juice. Which product is the better deal?

Answer 1

Apple Cider is the better deal.

Explanation:

1 gallon is 128 ounces.

8 times 4.23 is 33.84. So each purchase is 33.84 ounces. If you multiply 33.84 ounces by 4 you get 135.36. (I did 4 because 3 would be too little to make a gallon).

After that you need to multiply 2.39 and 4. You need to do this because it will tell you the cost. That will come out to 9.56$.

So, that is why the apple cider is a better deal, because it is 7$ and the other would be 9.56$.

Hope this helps :-)
