I might be wrong all along to look differently at this but this puzzled me a lot.....you guys can give me right answer with explanation............
First store has deal explained like this….
4 pack (12 cans * 12) for $11.00 and you get the fifth one free…..
Second store has this deal……….
5 pack (12 cans * 12) for $8.88
My reasoning that the first store’s deal is good (correct me if I am wrong). My math goes like this……..
$11 divide by 4 = $2.75 for one pack.
Since you are getting 5th one free, we can do this (my reasoning might be wrong, but here you go):
$11.00 – $2.75 (as we are getting fifth one for free, I am deducting price of one case from total of $11.00) = $8.25
So it looks like the first store’s deal is cheaper…..what do you think? I might be looking in a wrong way….please do let me know………
