Question 5 • Economics

Mr. and Mrs. Atoll are planning a party for 10 people and want to make sure they have enough soda for everyone to have two bottles. Which of these makes the most economic sense?

Answer
A
one case of 24 sodas at 18 point 5 0 dollars
B
20 bottles of soda at 1 point 5 0 dollars each
C
two cases of 24 sodas at 18 point 5 0 dollars each
D
4 six-packs of soda at 5 point 0 0 dollars each

Explanation

Ten people having two bottles each need 10 × 2 = 20 bottles. Choice A provides exactly 20 bottles for $30.00. Choice B provides 24 bottles for $20.00, while choice C provides 24 bottles for $18.50, so choice C is the lowest-cost option that provides enough soda. Choice D also provides enough, but costs $37.00.
