A bulk warehouse is offering 48 cans of sparkling water for $12.00 a case. The local grocery store is offering the same sparkling water for $6.00 and it only has 12 cans. How much more expensive, per can, in cents, is this deal at the grocery store? Give me reasons, before answering the question
The bulk warehouse has 48 cans for $12.00 so that's 12 / 48 = $0.25 a can. The local grocery store has 12 cans for $6.00 so that's 6 / 12 = $0.50 a can. The grocery store offer is $0.50 a can and the warehouse is $0.25 a can so the grocery store is .50 - .25 = $0.25 more expensive per can. So the final answer is 25.
