Determine which is better to buy;

2-cup carton of pineapple juice for $1.04

2-quart carton of pineapple juice for $6.24

Solution:

Convert first 2 quarts to cups.

1 quart = 4 cups
2 quarts = 8 cups

8 cups carton of pineapple juice for $6.24

Divide the total measurement of cups to the total amount separately and determine which one is convenient.

2-cup carton of pineapple juice for $1.04
= $1.04/2 cups
=$0.52/cup

8 cups carton of pineapple juice for $6.24
=$6.24/8 cups
=$0.78/cup

Final answer:

It is much better to buy 2-cup carton of pineapple juice for $1.04.
