Parker Nolan · Answer 1

36 bottles for $4.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the rate, we divide both numbers, for example 24 dollars, and 3.

Put it into a Fraction: 24/3.

Divide: 24 / 3 = 8.

We do the same thing for the next equation.

Put it into a Fraction: 36/4.

Divide: 36/4 = 9.

We can compare or subtract.

The number has to be bigger to make it the better buy.

Since 8 is smaller than 9, it's true.

So: 8 < 9. That's good.

We can subtract. It cannot be lower than positive 1.

9 - 8 = 1.

It's correct.

Therefore, the answer is 9 bottles per every dollar.
