30 cans at $\$ 15.49$
12 cans $\$ 7.49$
24 cans at \$13.25
6 cans at $\$ 3.68$
Solution
Solution Steps
To find the option with the lowest unit price for soda, we need to calculate the unit price for each option by dividing the total price by the number of cans. Then, we compare these unit prices to determine the lowest one.
Step 1: Calculate Unit Prices
To find the unit price for each option, we divide the total price by the number of cans:
For 30 cans at \$15.49:
\[
\text{Unit Price} = \frac{15.49}{30} \approx 0.5163
\]
For 12 cans at \$7.49:
\[
\text{Unit Price} = \frac{7.49}{12} \approx 0.6242
\]
For 24 cans at \$13.25:
\[
\text{Unit Price} = \frac{13.25}{24} \approx 0.5521
\]
For 6 cans at \$3.68:
\[
\text{Unit Price} = \frac{3.68}{6} \approx 0.6133
\]
Step 2: Compare Unit Prices
The calculated unit prices are:
30 cans: \(0.5163\)
12 cans: \(0.6242\)
24 cans: \(0.5521\)
6 cans: \(0.6133\)
Step 3: Identify the Lowest Unit Price
The lowest unit price is \(0.5163\), which corresponds to the option of 30 cans at \$15.49.
Final Answer
The option with the lowest unit price is \\(\boxed{30 \text{ cans at } \$15.49}\\).
