To determine the better buy between 2.9L of detergent for $4.56 or 3.8L for $5.78, we need to calculate the price per liter for each option.

To find the price per liter, divide the total price by the number of liters:

For 2.9L of detergent:
Price per liter = $4.56 / 2.9L = $1.57 per liter (rounded to two decimal places)

For 3.8L of detergent:
Price per liter = $5.78 / 3.8L = $1.52 per liter (rounded to two decimal places)

Now, compare the price per liter for each option. In this case, the lower price per liter is the better buy.

Comparing the calculated values, we can see that 2.9L of detergent for $4.56 has a lower price per liter ($1.57) compared to 3.8L of detergent for $5.78 ($1.52). Therefore, the better buy would be 2.9L of detergent for $4.56.
