Problema Solution
You can buy an 8-pack of paper towels for $7.92 or a 12-pack for $11.64. Which is the better buy?
Answer provided by our tutors
The cost per packet for the 8-pack of paper towels for $7.92 offer is:
$7.92/8 = $0.99 per packet
The cost per packet for the 12-pack of paper towels for $11.64 offer is:
$11.64/12 = $0.97 per packet
Since $0.97 < $0.99 the second offer, 2-pack of paper towels for $11.64, is a better buy.
