Answer:

He bought approximately 16 pigs.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find how many pigs the farmer had originally all you have to do is add three to amount of pigs he sold, since three of the died. In order to find how many he sold all you need to do is divide 109 by 8, since he made a profit of $8 per pig. 109 / 8 = 13.625, 13.625 + 3 = 16.625

The lovin lemonade company sells a 4 gallon jug of lemonade for $24 the sweet and sour company sells an eight pack of 1 quart bo
lbvjy [14]
One way to compare is to find the price per gallon.
$24 for 4 gallons = 24÷4 = $6 per gallon

8 pack of 1 qt bottle give you 2 gallons (4qts= 1 gallon)  So you get 2 gallons for $16
$16 ÷ 2 = $8.00 per gallon.  Sweet and Sour has the higher unit price.
Even if we compare the price per quart we will get the same answer as to who is selling it at the higher unit price.
4gal for $24 = 16 quarts for $24  ( 1 gallon = 4 qts)
$24 ÷ 16 = $1.50 each (1\frac{1}2})
vs.
 8 quarts for $16  $16 ÷ 8 = $2.00 per qt.  Sweet and sour still has the higher unit price
