Also, because the deposits are charged per container, you'll pay $1.20 in deposits on the cans (5 cents each), but only 20 cents for a bottle. If you want an equal volume of pop: 24 cans has 8.52L of Coke, so you'd need a little over 4 bottles. If you bought 5 bottles, the deposit would be $1.00. The deposit is refundable, but you still have to incur the upfront costs and many people give their bottles and cans away, so they never reclaim the money.
A 24 can pack for $4.97 will actually cost $6.47 (after GST and deposit). 5 bottles at $0.99 each will cost $6.25 (after GST and deposit) and will actually give you 1.48L more Coke than the cans.
Whoa, too much Coke math. |
I see what your talking about with regards to the decimals but I think everyone knew what I ment. A lot of people still write .25 without the dollar sign and say twenty five cents.....but what ever.
As for the deposit.....I didn't calculate it because you get it back to it is really a non issue.....but I don;t want to start a big fight over coke cola.
Any how you are just restating what I posted.
