Question

Bill sees two boxes of baseball cards at a card show. The first box has 150 cards for $12.55.The second box has 120 cards for $9.60. The cards in which box are cheaper?

Answer 1

Answer: Cards in second box are cheaper.

Explanation:

We are told that the first box has 150 cards for $12.55. Therefore, the cost of one card would be:

= $12.55 / 150

= $0.084.

The second box has 120 cards for $9.60. Therefore, the cost if one card would be:

= $9.60 / 120

= $0.08

Therefore, the cards in the second box are cheaper.
