Answer 2

To analyze the promotion "Buy two bottles of soda and get one free," let's break down what happens when a customer purchases 4 bottles of soda.

1. The customer pays for 4 bottles, which means they would typically spend:
\[
4 \text{ bottles} \times 2.00 \text{ dollars/bottle} = 8.00 \text{ dollars}.
\]

2. According to the promotion, for every 2 bottles purchased, the customer receives 1 bottle for free. So, when the customer buys 4 bottles:
- They pay for the first 2 bottles ($2.00 each = $4.00).
- They receive the first free bottle.
- They then pay for the next 2 bottles ($2.00 each = $4.00).
- They receive another free bottle.

Thus, they receive a total of 2 bottles for free (1 for each set of 2 purchased).

3. Therefore, the company is losing out on the sales of the 2 free bottles. The sales amount forfeited by the company for the free bottles is:
\[
2 \text{ free bottles} \times 2.00 \text{ dollars/bottle} = 4.00 \text{ dollars}.
\]

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

Answer 3

To find out how many bottles of soda the company would need to give away to match the cost of the $3,000 Disney trip, we should consider the cost to the company for each bottle.

The cost to the company for each bottle of soda given away is $1.00.

1. To match the cost of the Disney trip, we can set up the following calculation:
\[
\text{Number of bottles} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Cost per bottle}} = \frac{3000}{1} = 3000 \text{ bottles}.
\]

So, the correct response is: **$3,000 divided by $1.00 = 3000 bottles.**
