To compare the prices between Store A and Store B, we need to find the price per bottle of water at each store.
For Store A:
We know that 12 bottles of water cost 53.36. To find the price per bottle, we divide the total cost by the number of bottles:
Price per bottle at Store A = 53.36 / 12.
For Store B:
We know that 24 bottles of water cost 56.00. To find the price per bottle, we divide the total cost by the number of bottles:
Price per bottle at Store B = 56.00 / 24.
Now that we have the price per bottle for each store, we can calculate the difference in prices for 48 bottles of water.
Price for 48 bottles at Store A = Price per bottle at Store A * 48.
Price for 48 bottles at Store B = Price per bottle at Store B * 48.
Finally, we calculate the difference in prices:
Difference = Price for 48 bottles at Store A - Price for 48 bottles at Store B.
Let's calculate the answer:
Price per bottle at Store A = 53.36 / 12 = 4.448.
Price per bottle at Store B = 56.00 / 24 = 2.333.
Price for 48 bottles at Store A = 4.448 * 48 = 213.504.
Price for 48 bottles at Store B = 2.333 * 48 = 111.984.
Difference = 213.504 - 111.984 = 101.52.
Therefore, a customer will pay s101.52 more for 48 bottles of water at Store A than at Store B.
