s purchased in this way?

Respuesta :

Answer:

  2¢ per can

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know the savings per can of soup purchased at $1.74 per dozen instead of 2 for 33¢.

Per can

The cost per can is found by dividing the cost by the corresponding number of cans:

  33¢ for 2: $0.33/(2 cans) = $0.165/can

  $1.74 for 12: $1.75/(12 cans) = $0.145/can

Difference

The difference in cost per can is ...

  $0.165 -0.145 = $0.02

The savings per can is 2 cents when purchased in lots of a dozen.
