Coke is 2.75 each and 7-up is 2.85 each

how exactly did u get this

anonymous · Answer

He's looking for the best deal, so he is going to compare the price of the Coke and the 7-up for an equal size.  From the wording of the problem, that size is a 12-pack.

So, if there are three 12-packs of Coke for 8.25, then one 12-pack is 8.25 / 3 or 2.75 each.

You do similar for the 7-up but divide by 4.

And that's all there is to it!
