Let’s solve to answer the question.

Divide the amount of pencils the company needs by the amount of pencils the box holds.

2,400/60=40.

Now multiply it by the price.

40*.5=$20.

Repeat.

2400/80=30

30*.75=22.5

The cylindrical containers cost less.

Hope this helps!

Answer: A

Explanation:

2,400 divided by 60 will give you 40. 40 multiplied by 0.50 give you $20.00.

2,400 divide by 80 will give you 30 but 30 multiplied but 0.75 gives you $22.50.

$22.50 minus $20.00 gives you $2.50
