You purchase aquasonic gel for the ultrasound labs in the hospital. a 5-liter bottle costs $20.00. a case (12 tubes/case) of 250-milliliter tubes costs $19.50. your department uses 15 liters per month.

the conversion you will need is: 1 milliliter = .001 liter.

which one produces a cost savings? how much would you save in a month?

a. small tubes, $7.50
b. large bottle, $7.50
c. small tubes, $37.50
d. large bottle $37.50

D

Step-by-step explanation:

A 5 liter bottle costs $20.00. So for every liter you are paying 20/5=$4 per liter.

A case of 250 mililiter tubes cost $19.50 and each case has 12*250=3000 mililiters = 3 liters of gel.

If you need 15 liters per month then the two options would yield the follwing:

Option 1: 5 liter bottles

You would require 3 five liter bottles of r 15 liters, therefore the total cost is:

Option 2: a case of 250 mililiters

You required 5 cases of 250 mililiter tubes, therefore the total cost is:

∴ The best option will be buying the large 5 liter bottles and you will make a saving of $37.5
