Solution

First, let's find out the price per bottle for each package:

For the 6-bottle package: 12.60/6=12.60 / 6 = 2.10 per bottle

For the 4-bottle package: 11.40/4=11.40 / 4 = 2.85 per bottle

So, the 6-bottle package has a better price per bottle.

Now, let's calculate how much Gabriel would spend for 36 bottles with each package:

With the 6-bottle package: 36 bottles * 2.10/bottle=2.10/bottle = 75.60

With the 4-bottle package: 36 bottles * 2.85/bottle=2.85/bottle = 102.60

Finally, let's find out how much he saves by choosing the 6-bottle package: 102.60102.60 - 75.60 = $27.00

So, Gabriel saves $27.00 by buying 36 bottles of water at the better price.
