Answer: It's 2.2 times more expensive to buy the 12-oz can of pop compared to buying it in a 2.00 L bottle
Step-by-step explanation:
You know that:
[tex]1.00\ L = 1.057\ quarts[/tex]
[tex]1.00\ quart=32\ oz[/tex]
Then, you can make the conversion from liters to quarts:
[tex](2.00\ L)(\frac{1.057\ quarts}{1.00\ L})=2.114\ quarts[/tex]
Now, you need to make the conversion from quarts to ounces:
[tex](2.114\ quarts)(\frac{32\ 0z}{1.00\ quart})=67.648\ oz[/tex]
You know that a 12-oz can of soda pop costs 89 cents (which is $0.89). Then, the cost per ounce is:
[tex]\frac{\$0.89}{12}=\$0.074[/tex]
And a 2.00 L bottle (67.648 oz) of the same variety of soda pop costs $2.29. The cost per ounce is:
[tex]\frac{\$2.29}{67.648}=\$0.033[/tex]
Finally, you must divide $0.074 by $0.033:
[tex]\frac{\$0.074}\$0.033}=2.2[/tex]
Therefore, It's 2.2 times more expensive to buy the 12-oz can of pop compared to buying it in a 2.00 L bottle.
