Can someone please tell me im not crazy.
how is it cheaper to buy
6 x 16oz beers for 6.99
than
18 x 12oz beers for 8.99
>>8835695
oz are volume so you cube them
>>8835695
6.99 < 8.99
OP
the way i did it is
(number_of_beers * ounces)/price
is this incorrect?
>>8835695
maybe its cheaper to produce 12 oz bottles
>>8835705
No but its sad that you have to ask
There is a near 100% price increase. My brain does not understand this. it would seem buying 18 would be cheaper...??!

>it would seem buying 18 would be cheaper...??!
It's cheaper per ounce when you buy more. That's how 99% of products work.

im losing my shit right now.
making sure im not going crazy
>>8835715
no you idiot.
buying 6 is cheaper than 18
>>8835717
Yeah... because you get less than half as much beer. Buying 18 is a better unit price.
>>8835716
16oz * 6 beers = 96 ounces
12oz * 18 beers= 216 ounces

what if we were buying water?
>>8835769
>Bottled water
>>8835695
if you only need 100oz of beer, it's cheaper to buy 6*16oz for 6.99 than 18*12oz for 8.99.
>>8835695
you get 13,7oz / dollar for choice 1, 24oz / dollar for the second.
>>8835705
this gives ounces / dollar, which means greater oz = cheaper
>>8835705
Other way round man, you want price per ounce
>>8835695
i mean if you only need 96oz its cheaper, but if you need more than that the choice is obvious
