A 3-gallon jug of juice costs $26.40. What is the price per pint?

$

Answer 1

To find the price per pint of juice, we first need to convert gallons to pints.

1 gallon is equal to 8 pints. Therefore, to find out how many pints are in 3 gallons, we calculate:

\[
3 \text{ gallons} \times 8 \text{ pints/gallon} = 24 \text{ pints}
\]

Now that we know there are 24 pints in 3 gallons, we can find the price per pint by dividing the total cost by the number of pints:

\[
\text{Price per pint} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of pints}} = \frac{26.40}{24}
\]

Calculating that gives:

\[
\frac{26.40}{24} = 1.10
\]

Thus, the price per pint is:

\[
\boxed{1.10}
\]
