Jared wants to purchase his favorite barbeque sauce. the barbeque sauce comes in two different size bottles. the 32 ounce bottle is on sale for $4.59. the 18 ounce bottle is priced at $3.06. jared has a coupon for 60 cents off if you buy two 18 ounce bottles. determine if jared gets the better buy when he buys
a. one 32 ounce bottle or
b. when he buys two 18 ounce bottles.
c. jared will get the same deal on either purchase.

For the larger bottle divide the cost by the ounces to get cost per ounce:

4.59 / 32 = 0.143 cents per ounce.

2 18 ounce bottles would cost 3.06 x 2 = 6.12

Then subtract 60 cents for the coupon:

6.12 - 0.60 = 5.52

Now divide that price by the number of ounces:

5.52 / 36 = 0.153 cents per ounce.

The price per ounce is cheaper for the 32 ounce bottle, so that would be the better buy.

The answer is: a. one 32 ounce bottle

the final amount you will pay is $68.04.

the tip is determined by the pre-tax amount, so we calculate the tip based on the original bill, not after we've added sales tax.

to find the tip:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we multiply that by 18.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 18 = 9.72

tip = 9.72$

to find the tax:

we can divide 54.00 by 100 to get 1% of 54. then we can multiply that by 8 to get 8%.

54 / 100 = .54

.54 x 8 = 4.32

tax= 4.32

now we can add the tip and tax to the bill to get our total.

54 + 9.72 + 4.32 = 68.04

total: $68.04
