A 20oz bottle of water costs $0.89, and a 33.3 oz bottle of the same water costs $1.29. Assuming the container cost and profit are the same for both, what is the actual cost of one gallon of water not including the cost of the container and profit?
No clue how to answer 0.o

I guess you find out how much the extra 13.3 oz costs, then charge the same rate for a gallon...

Possibly it meant the cost and profit together are the same... or maybe it's like saying, "disregard friction."
