Terry is buying juice. He needs 3 liters. A half-liter of juice costs $2.39. A 250-milliliter container of juice costs $1.69. What should Terry buy so he gets 3 liters at the lowest price? Explain.
Terry should buy the half liters because 6 half liters (equivalent to 3 liters) is $14.34, compared to 12 250 milliliter containers (equivalent to 3 liters) is $20.28.
Step-by-step explanation: Terry should buy the half liters because 6 half liters (3 liters) is $14.34, whilst the 12 250 milliliter containers cost more ($20.28) but are still equivalent to 3 liters just like the 6 half liters.
