A store sells 8-ounce containers of apple juice at $0.69 each and 12-ounce containers of apple juice at $0.95 each. How much money will be saved by purchasing a total of 48 ounces of apple juice in 12-ounce rather than 8-ounce containers?
A. $0.24
B. $0.32
C. $0.34
D. $0.48
E. $0.56
For a total of 48 ounces of apple juice, six 8-ounce containers must be purchased since 6 x 8 ounces = 48 ounces. If each 12-ounce container costs $0.95, four of these containers will cost 4 x $0.95 = $3.80. The amount of money that will be saved by purchasing the 12-ounce containers is $4.14 - $3.80 = $0.34.
