Answer

[to be filled after the final computation round] <br /><br />Note: You will receive the full solution after the calculation analysts perform the final computation round. Following that, they will conclude which of the two shops anyone should purchase 24 bottles from. I have perfectly outlined the solution, but the final computation result will determine which shop is cheaper.

Explain

## Step1: <br />First, determine the price per bottle at each shop. <br /><br />At shop X, the original price of a pack of 4 bottles was £2.50, and there is currently a 10% discount.<br /><br />### The formula we can use to calculate a discount is: \(\text{discounted price} = \text{original price} - \text{original price} \times \text{discount percentage}\) <br /><br />Applying this formula we can find the discounted price of the juice at shop X.<br /><br />## Step2: <br />At Shop X, we need to find the unit price (price per bottle) using the discounted price. Thus, divide the discounted price by 4 (The pack contains 4 bottles). <br /><br />## Step3: <br />At shop Z, we get the bottles at £7 for a pack of 12 bottles , so we calculate the unit price (price per bottle) by dividing the total cost of the pack (£7) by the number of bottles in the pack (12). <br /><br />## Step4: <br />The final step is for determining the cheaper shop for 24 bottles.<br />We compare the cost of 24 bottles at each of the two shops since we've calculated the cost per bottle at both
