A grocery store sells 6-pack of bottled water for $3.79 a 9 pack for $4.50 and a 12 pack for $6.89 which package costs the least per bottle? explain your reasoning

Find the unit price (price per bottle)

$3.79 : 6 = $.63 a bottle (approximately)

$4.50 : 9 = $.50

$6.89 : 12 = $.57 (approximately)

So your best bet is the 9 pack.

You will find that sometimes your best value is not to buy the greatest amount of a product.
