Answer: The box of 8 cones costs less per cone. The cost per cone is $0.67.

Explanation:

To find the cost per cone, we need to divide the total cost by the number of cones.

8 cones box: $5.34 / 8 = $0.67 per cone

10 cones box: $6.80 / 10 = $0.68 per cone

Therefore, the box of 8 cones costs less per cone. The cost per cone is $0.67.
