1 quart of the 16oz jug is $1.26 (.63x2) 1 quart of the half gallon is $1.12 (2.24/2) so 1.26-1.12= 0.14 the 16oz jugs are 14 cents more expensive than the half gallon

The amount of an expensive carton of milk as compared to the half-gallon of milk in cents will be 14 cents.

How to form an equation?

In other words, an equation is a set of variables that are constrained through a situation or case.

Given that

16-ounce carton of milk ⇔ 63 cents

32 ounce ⇔ 1 quart ⇔ 126 cents

Given that

1/2 gallon jug of milk ⇔ $2.24

1/4 gallon jug of milk⇔ (2.24 × 100)/2 cents

1 quart of Jug of milk ⇔ 112 cents

So the amount of expensive jug of milk

126 cents -  112 cents  = 14 cents hence it will be the correct answer.
