Answer:

The cost of 1 pint of the medication would be $1.875.

Step-by-step explanation:

The AWP of 3785 ml ( 1 gallon ) cough syrup = $18.75

After an additional 20% discount from wholesaler the price would be

New price = 18.75 - (0.20 × 18.75)

                 = 18.75 - 3.75

                 = $15.00

Since 1 gallon ( 3785 ml) = 8 pints

Therefore, the price for 1 pint = [tex]\frac{15}{8}[/tex] = $1.875

The cost of 1 pint of the medication would be $1.875.
