A store charges $6.96 for a case of mineral water.

Each case contains 2 boxes of mineral water.
Each box contains 4 bottles of mineral water.
Question:
What is the cost of each bottle of mineral water?

We are given that:

- A case of mineral water costs **$6.96**.
- Each case contains **2 boxes**.
- Each box contains **4 bottles**.

### Step-by-Step Calculation:

1. **Number of bottles per case**:
   \[
   2 \text{ boxes} \times 4 \text{ bottles per box} = 8 \text{ bottles per case}
   \]

2. **Cost per bottle**:
   \[
   \frac{6.96}{8} = 0.87
   \]

So, the cost of each bottle of mineral water is **$0.87**.
