I would say 36 bottles for $4 by 1.4 cent because you get more bottle of waters and it doesn't cost that much money for a bottle of water

Answer:

The better buy is option C because you will be paying $3 instead of $18 for 24 bottles. Which means you will save $1.2 more than option B and $15 in total.

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A:

If the bottle is 1.5 cent per bottle and you buy 24 bottles you will only spend:

=0.015*24=0.36 therefore only 36 cent.

Option B:

If the bottle is 70 cent per bottle and you buy 24 bottles you will only spend:

=0.70*24=16.8 therefore you will pay $16.8.

Option C:

If the bottle is 75 cent per bottle and you buy 24 bottles you will only spend:

=0.75*24=18 therefore you will pay $18.

Option D:

If the bottle is 1.4 cent per bottle and you buy 36 bottles you will only spend:

=0.014*36=0.50 therefore you will pay 50 cent.

∴ Option A you will overspend $3-0.36cents = $2.64

∴ Option B you will save $16.8-$3 = $13.8

∴ Option C you will save $18-$3 = $15

∴ Option B you will overspend $3-$0.5 = $2.5

Therefore option C is the best option because you will be paying $3 instead of $18 for 24 bottles. You will save $1.2 more than option B.

To prove that x = 2 in the equation given, first, we write the given.
               (4) Given:    (A)  12 - x = 20 - 5x
   Then, add 5x to both sides of the equation,
               (3) Addition property of equality:    (B) 12 + 4x = 20
Then, subtract 12 from both sides of the equation
              (2) Subtraction property of equality:  (C) 4x = 8
Lastly, divide both sides by 4
              (1) Division property of equality :    (D) x = 2
