Question

a 12 oz can of soda pop costs eighty nine cents. a 2.00 liter bottle of the same variety of soda pop costs 2.29. how many times expensive is it to buy the 12-oz can of pop compared to buying it in 2.00 l

Answer 1

1 Ounce = 0.0295735 l

12 ounces ===> = 12 x 0.0295735 = 0.354882 lts

0.354882 lts ---> 89 cents

1 cent = 0.01 dollar

0.35882 lts ---> 0.89 dollars

per 1 lt ---> 0.89 dollars/0.35882 = 2.48 dollar per ounce

2 lts --> 2.29 dollars

per 1 lt ---> 2.29 dollar/2 = 1.145 dollar per ounce

The number of times expensive is it to buy the 12-oz can of pop compared to buying it in 2.00 l = 2.48/1.145 = 2.17 times = 2times
