Which of the following is/are the better buy(s)?
There may be more than one correct answer.
☐ 3 liters of milk at $5.73.
☐ 3.5 liters of milk at $6.09.
☐ 5 liters of milk at $9.75.
☐ 7 liters of milk at $12.18.
☐ 2.5 liters of milk at $4.90.

Answer

To determine the better buy, calculate the price per liter for each option:

  1. 3 liters of milk at $5.73: $5.73 / 3 = $1.91 per liter.
  2. 3.5 liters of milk at $6.09: $6.09 / 3.5 = $1.74 per liter.
  3. 5 liters of milk at $9.75: $9.75 / 5 = $1.95 per liter.
  4. 7 liters of milk at $12.18: $12.18 / 7 = $1.74 per liter.
  5. 2.5 liters of milk at $4.90: $4.90 / 2.5 = $1.96 per liter.

The better buys are 3.5 liters at $6.09 and 7 liters at $12.18, both at $1.74 per liter.
