Answer:
D. Diego is correct because the price of one can of soda multiplied by the number of sodas needed will give you the total cost of the soda.
Step-by-step explanation:
Each person is
expected to drink one can of soda.
Let p=price of each soda
q=number of people in the picnic
Total cost of soda=price of each soda × Total people attending the picnic
Total cost of soda=p×q
Diego says that if you multiply the unit price for a can of soda by the number of people attending the picnic, you will be able to
determine the total cost of the soda.
Max says that if you divide the cost of a 12-pack of soda by the number of sodas, you will determine the total cost of the sodas
A. Max is incorrect because he calculated the cost of one can of soda
B. Diego is incorrect because he calculated the price of one can of soda
C. Max is correct because the total cost divided by the number of sodas gives you the total cost of the sodas
D. Diego is correct because the price of one can of soda multiplied by the number of sodas needed will give you the total cost of the soda.
