1. during the summer, dean works as a cashier in a store near saskatchewans greenwater lake provincial park. the store sells a case of 12 bottles of water for $8.50 and individual bottles of the same brand of water for $1.55.\na) approximately how much does each bottle of water in the case of 12 cost?\nb) how much would a customer save by buying a case of water, rather than 12 individual bottles?
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Calculate cost per - bottle in case
To find the cost per - bottle in a case of 12, divide the total cost of the case by the number of bottles. The total cost of the case is $8.50 and the number of bottles is 12. So, the cost per - bottle is $8.50\div12=\frac{8.50}{12}\approx0.71$ (rounded to two decimal places).
Step2: Calculate cost of 12 individual bottles
The cost of one individual bottle is $1.55. So, the cost of 12 individual bottles is $1.55\times12 = 18.60$.
Step3: Calculate savings
To find the savings, subtract the cost of the case from the cost of 12 individual bottles. Savings=$18.60 - 8.50=10.10$.
Answer:
a) Approximately $0.71 b) $10.10
