6-pack

12-pack

24-pack

they have the same unit price

Answer 1

To find the unit price for each soda, we divide the total price of each package by the number of sodas in that package.

1. 6-pack for $2.29: \[ \text{Unit Price} = \frac{2.29}{6} \approx 0.3816667 \text{ (rounded to hundredths is } 0.38\text{)} \]

2. 12-pack for $3.99: \[ \text{Unit Price} = \frac{3.99}{12} \approx 0.3325 \text{ (rounded to hundredths is } 0.33\text{)} \]

3. 24-pack for $5.99: \[ \text{Unit Price} = \frac{5.99}{24} \approx 0.2495833 \text{ (rounded to hundredths is } 0.25\text{)} \]

Now, filling in the blanks:

• 6-pack for $2.29 has a unit price of $ 0.38 per soda
• 12-pack for $3.99 has a unit price of $ 0.33 per soda
• 24-pack for $5.99 has a unit price of $ 0.25 per soda

Now we can compare the unit prices to find the best one:

• 6-pack: $0.38
• 12-pack: $0.33
• 24-pack: $0.25

The package with the best unit price is the 24-pack at $0.25 per soda.
