Sabine can't tell the difference between coke and pepsi—the two taste exactly the same to her. sabine has $6 to spend on cola this week. coke costs $1.50 per six-pack and pepsi costs $1.00 per six-pack. what is the maximum amount of coke she could buy? the maximum amount of pepsi?

Well Sabine has two choices as she can't differentiate between the tastes of Coke and Pepsi. She has $6 to spend on cola for this week. So we need to know the max amount of colas she can buy with $6. Following are the calculations

Cost of Coke per 6 packs= $1.5

Cost of Pepsi per 6 packs= $1

So from $6, she can either buy:

Coke: $6/$1.5= 4 six packs of coke OR

Pepsi: $6/$1   = 6 six packs of Pepsi

So if she buys Coke, she would have 4*6= 24 bottles of Coke

or if she buys Pepsi, she would have 6*6= 36 bottles of Pepsi
