Answer 1

D. The grocery store charges $1 less per lightbulb.

Step-by-step explanation

To find the cost per lightbulb we have to divide the total cost of each pack by the number of lightbulbs in each pack. For the hardware store,

`(20)/(4)=5`

The cost per lightbulb is $5. And for the grocery store,

`(24)/(6)=4`

The cost per lightbulb is $4.

Hence, the grocery store charges $1 less per lightbulb than the hardware store.
