Which of the following items is the LOWEST priced?
(Measurements as they appear on the bottles/can labels):
(A) 3 litters (3 quarts & 5 oz) $28.00
(B) 1 liter (33.8) $11.00
(C) 25.5 oz (750 ml) $8.00
(D) 1 pint (9.35 oz) (750 ml) $ 7.50
(E) 16.9 oz. (500 ml) $ 6.00
Strange that 25.5 oz and 9.35 oz. are 750 ml? I double-checked these and that's what the labels say...
Thanks ever so very much!
To determine which item is the lowest priced, we need to compare the prices of each item on the list. Let's break it down:
(A) 3 liters (3 quarts & 5 oz) for $28.00
(B) 1 liter (33.8 oz) for $11.00
(C) 25.5 oz (750 ml) for $8.00
(D) 1 pint (9.35 oz) (750 ml) for $7.50
(E) 16.9 oz (500 ml) for $6.00
To compare these items, we need to convert their measurements to a consistent unit. Let's convert them all to milliliters (ml):
(A) 3 liters = 3000 ml
(B) 1 liter = 1000 ml
(C) 25.5 oz = 750 ml
(D) 1 pint = 473.18 ml
(E) 16.9 oz = 500 ml
Now that we have all the measurements in milliliters, we can compare the prices:
(A) $28.00 for 3000 ml
(B) $11.00 for 1000 ml
(C) $8.00 for 750 ml
(D) $7.50 for 473.18 ml
(E) $6.00 for 500 ml
Now, we can see that the lowest priced item is (E) 16.9 oz (500 ml) for $6.00.
Regarding the strange conversions, it's not uncommon for package sizes to be labeled in both ounces and milliliters. The manufacturer might use metric units like milliliters (ml) for international sales while also providing the equivalent measurement in ounces (oz) for the local market.
