b.
The juice in the plastic bottle is 1 cent cheaper per ounce.
c.
The juice in the glass bottle is 10 cents cheaper per ounce.
d.
The juice in the plastic bottle is 10 cents cheaper per ounce.

Answer 1

The answer is D

Answer 2

Okay so lets put it in terms of ounces... 1 liter is roughly 34 ounces...and we have a 1.5 liter...so that is 34 + half of 34 which is 17...so 34 + 17 = 51 ounces...

Glass: 60 ounces for 4.20
Plastic: 51 ounces for 3.06

if we want to find out how much per 1 ounces...we divide the 4.20 by 60...and we divide 51 by 3.06

Answer 3

D?

Answer 4

@ashleyhelget does that make sense?

Answer 5

is it d

Answer 6

60 ounces for 4.20 means 60 ounces for 420 cents which would be :
\[\frac{420 cents}{60 ounces}=7 cents/ounce\]

Answer 7

1.5 liters = 1.5 time 34 ounces = 51 ounces.
That would be 306 cents for 51 ounces or:
\[\frac{306 cents}{51 ounces}= 6 cents/ounce\]
