How much less is a bottle of apple juice at Store A than at Store B?
To find the difference in price between Store A and Store B for a bottle of apple juice, we can compare the prices for the same quantity of bottles at both stores.
At Store A, the price of 18 bottles of apple juice would be $5.89.
At Store B, the price of 18 bottles of apple juice is given as $16.74.
To find the difference, we subtract the price at Store A from the price at Store B:

Apologies for the incorrect answer. Let's calculate the correct difference.
At Store A, the price of 18 bottles of apple juice is not given in the available data.
However, we can find the price per bottle at Store B by dividing the total cost by the number of bottles: $16.74 / 18 = $0.93 per bottle.
Now, let's look at the prices given for different quantities at Store A:
For 9 bottles at Store A, the cost is $2.79.
For 15 bottles at Store A, the cost is $4.65.
For 17 bottles at Store A, the cost is $5.27.
For 19 bottles at Store A, the cost is $5.89.
Comparing these prices to the price at Store B ($0.93), we can see that the price at Store A is consistently higher.
The price difference between Store A and Store B for a bottle of apple juice would be the difference between the price at Store A and the price at Store B:
For example, for 9 bottles, the price difference would be $2.79 - $0.93 = $1.86.
Similarly, you can find the price difference for the other quantities given.
