Answer 1

In the promotion "Buy two bottles of soda and get one free," for every two bottles purchased, the customer receives one additional bottle for free.

If a customer purchases 4 bottles of soda, they would effectively qualify for 2 free bottles (since they purchased 4 bottles, which is 2 sets of 2).

Let's break this down:

1. The customer buys 4 bottles.
2. For those 4 bottles, they receive 2 free bottles (1 free for each 2 purchased).
3. The cost of the 4 bottles is 4 x $2.00 = $8.00.
4. The company gives away 2 free bottles, which amounts to a loss of 2 x $2.00 = $4.00.

Thus, the company is forfeiting $4.00 due to this transaction.

So the correct response is: They would give away two free bottles, losing the sale amount of 2 x $2.00 = $4.00.
