Blue1.8g=7.2q
White1.2g=4.8q
12/q(48/g)和18/g,尽量用加仑买,零头用夸脱买。
blue直接买2加仑划算,white买1加仑和1夸脱划算。
注意gallon和quart都需要买整数个
可计算出需要blue1.8加仑,需要white1.2加仑
blue直接买2加仑合算
white买1加仑和1夸脱划算

1.根据总数算出每个颜色所需要的gallon/quart数量
2.根据每gallon/quart的价格得出尽量买gallon,零头有quart买
Blue1.8g=7.2q
White1.2g=4.8q
12/q(48/g)和18/g,尽量用加仑买,零头用夸脱买。
blue直接买2加仑划算,white买1加仑和1夸脱划算。
1夸特=1/4加仑=12块,1加仑=18块
蓝的要1又4/5加仑=1加仑1.6夸特,购买2加仑更划算;白的要1又1/5加仑=1加仑4/5夸特,购买1加仑1夸特更划算;总共是3加仑1夸特
