Q. Grace examines two different size bottles of the same laundry detergent. The price for the 100 -ounce bottle is $9.99 and the price for the 150 -ounce bottle is $12.99. How much money will Grace save per 100 ounces if she purchases the larger bottle?Choose 1 answer:(A) $0.01(B) $1.33(C) $2.00(D) $8.66
Calculate price per ounce: First, let's find the price per ounce for the 100-ounce bottle.$9.99/100 ounces = $0.0999 per ounce.
Compare prices: Now, let's find the price per ounce for the 150-ounce bottle.$12.99/150 ounces=$0.0866 per ounce.
Calculate savings per ounce: Next, we need to compare the savings per ounce.$0.0999 per ounce - $0.0866 per ounce = $0.0133 per ounce saved.
Calculate savings per 100 ounces: To find out how much she saves per 100 ounces, we multiply the savings per ounce by 100.$0.0133 per ounce ∗100 ounces = $1.33 saved per 100 ounces.
