Explanation:

Step 1

Find the unit rate in a box of
`100` latex-free gloves

To find the unit rate divide the total cost by the number of gloves

so

`(44.95)/(100)=0.45(\$)/(glove)`

Step 2

Find the unit rate in a box of
`50` latex-free gloves

To find the unit rate divide the total cost by the number of gloves

so

`(23.50)/(50)=0.47(\$)/(glove)`

The unit rate in a box of
`100` latex-free gloves is less than the unit rate in a box of
`50` latex-free gloves

Answer 2

For box of 100 gloves, each glove = 44.95/100 = $0.4495
