Answer:

The company which has the least expensive cartridge is:

LMN office company.

Explanation:

LMN Office Company sells 20 printer cartridges for $240.

This means that the cost of 1 printer cartridge is: $ 240/20=$ 12

Also, . XYZ Supplies has a box of printer cartridges for $150.

The box contains 12 cartridges.

This means that the cost of 12 cartridge is: $ 150

Hence, cost of 1 printer cartridge is: $ 150/12=$ 12.5

Hence, the company which has the least expensive cartridge is:

LMN Office Company.

( Since, 12 < 12.5 )
