Question

A 4 pint bottle of milk costs £1.18. A 6 pint bottle of milk costs £1.74. Which bottle of milk is the better value for money?

Answer 1

6-pint is a better value, saving you .5 p per pint

Explanation:

I believe we should start by figuring out how much per pint. to get the 4-pint milk to be a ratio to the price for one pint just divide by four. `1.18/4` you then get .295
so for the 4-pint, you're paying .295 p for one pint of milk

Now, let's have a look at the price per pint for the 6-pint
`1.74/6` giving you 29 p per pint.

while it's not that noticeable, you save .5 pence buying the 6-pint rather than the 4-pint
