Solution

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

For the 6-bottle package: 15.60/6=15.60 / 6 = 2.60 per bottle

For the 4-bottle package: 13.00/4=13.00 / 4 = 3.25 per bottle

So, the 6-bottle package is cheaper.

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

With the 6-bottle package: 36 bottles * 2.60/bottle=2.60/bottle = 93.60

With the 4-bottle package: 36 bottles * 3.25/bottle=3.25/bottle = 117.00

Finally, let's find out how much Abby saves by choosing the 6-bottle package:

117.00(4bottlepackageprice)117.00 (4-bottle package price) - 93.60 (6-bottle package price) = $23.40

So, Abby saves $23.40 by buying 36 bottles of water at the better price.
