  • Q #2: Soft Drinks Shop Orange: Two 24-packs for $15; one 24-pack for $9 Root Beer: One 24-pack for $14 Cream Soda: One 12-pack for $5 A consumer needs to purchase at least 60 soft drinks for a picnic. Which of the following combinations is the most cost-effective?

    A. 2 pack of Orange and 2 packs of Cream Soda

    B. 3 packs of Root Beer

    C. 1 pack of orange, 2 packs of Root Beer and 1 pack of Cream Soda

    D. 4 packs of cream Soda

    Answer Explanation

    Choice A: 2 packs of Orange and 2 packs of Cream Soda

    • Total drinks: 48 + 24 = 72 drinks
    • Total cost: (2 * $15) + (2 * $5) = $30 + $10 = $40
    • This choice not only meets the requirement of at least 60 drinks but also offers the best value in terms of cost per drink, making it the most cost-effective option.

    Choice B: 3 packs of Root Beer

    • Total drinks: 3 * 24 = 72 drinks
    • Total cost: 3 * $14 = $42
    • While this choice meets the requirement of at least 60 drinks, it's not the most cost-effective, as it costs $42 for 72 drinks.

    Choice C: 1 pack of Orange, 2 packs of Root Beer, and 1 pack of Cream Soda

    • Total drinks: 24 + 48 + 12 = 84 drinks
    • Total cost: $9 + (2 * $14) + $5 = $9 + $28 + $5 = $42
    • This choice provides more than 60 drinks, but it's not the most cost-effective due to its higher cost of $42, same as choice B.

    Choice D: 4 packs of Cream Soda

    • Total drinks: 4 * 12 = 48 drinks
    • Total cost: 4 * $5 = $20
    • While this choice is the most cost effective, it falls short of providing the desired number of drinks.

  • Q #3: James’ uncle is thirteen less than three times James’ age. Which of the equations represents James’ uncle’s age (m) as it relates to James’ (n)?

    A. m=13-3n

    B. n=3m-13

    C. m=13-3n

    D. m=3n-13

    Answer Explanation

    in this case, we express James’ uncle’s age in terms of James’ age. From the equation:

    James’ age is n

    James’s uncle’s age is m=3n-13

    Thus, the relation that relates James’ uncle’s age in terms of James’ age is m=3n-13.
