Hi, just need some advice. Need to know if I divide to find my answer? So, would I divide 2/0.89?
Pamela is shopping for bottled water at the supermarket. Which is the better buy?
A. 1 2-liter bottle for $0.89
B. 3 1-liter bottled for $1.50
Yes, That's correct.
Thank you
You're welcome.
To determine which option is the better buy, you can compare the prices per liter by performing division.
For option A, you divide the price ($0.89) by the volume (2 liters):
0.89 / 2 = 0.445 dollars per liter.
For option B, you divide the price ($1.50) by the total volume (3 liters):
1.50 / 3 = 0.50 dollars per liter.
Comparing the results, you can see that option A has a lower price per liter than option B. Therefore, option A, the 1 2-liter bottle for $0.89, is the better buy in terms of price per liter.
