Carsen wants to make 5 gallons of lemonade. He can purchase

10 lemons for $0.39 each and 1 pound of sugar for $2.99, or he can

purchase powdered drink mixes that make 2 gallons of lemonade for

$1.79 each. Which is a better price per gallon of lemonade produced?

The powdered drink mixes is a better price per gallon on lemonade produced.

Step-by-step explanation:

The powdered drink mixes is a better price per gallon on lemonade produced because of the following reasons listed below:

The cost price to produce lemonade for the powdered mixes goes for $1.79 each for 2 gallons which is lesser and cheaper and much more affordable compared to cost of preparing the lemonade from fresh lemons

The cost of buying fresh lemons which is calculated to cost

$0.39 for 1 lemon which means for 10 lemons, the cost would be

10 * $0.39 = $3.9

1 pound of sugar cost $2.99

The total cost price would be

$3.9 + $2.99

= $6.89

When we compared the both prices and check the calculation shown above, we can see that the powdered mixes is a much better option and much better price per gallon of lemonade purchased.

The answer is the powder drink mix.
