PSAT Math Multiple-Choice Question 280: Answer and Explanation

Question: 280

The parent volunteers for a football team need to pick up a variety of bottled drinks for their players. They buy 2 cases of Gatorade and a case of water for everyone which costs $76.50. If each case contains 30 bottles, how much is the value of a single drink?

• A. $1.28
• B. $0.85
• C. $1.05
• D. $0.75

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

The cost of each drink is valued at $0.85 because there are 90 drinks since each case contains 30 bottles. By dividing the cost by the number of total bottles, it is possible to solve for the individual values. See Lesson: Standard Operations & Concepts.
