Printer A prints 100 pages for $26.99. Printer B prints 275 sheets for $67.99. Which printer has the better rate of cost per page?

Printer A, because the approximate rate of Printer A, $0.27 per page, is greater than the approximate rate of Printer B, $0.25 per page
Printer B, because the approximate rate of Printer A, $0.27 per page, is greater than the approximate rate of Printer B, $0.25 per page
Printer A, because the approximate rate of Printer A, $3.71 per page, is less than the approximate rate of Printer B, $4.04 per page

Explanation:

Answer 2

Printer B, because the approximate rate of Printer A, $0.27 per page, is greater than the approximate rate of Printer B, $0.25 per page

Explanation:

Rate of cost for printer A = $26.99/100 pages
= $ 0.2699 ≈ $0.27 per page

Rate of cost for printer B = $67.99/275 pages

=$ 0.2472 ≈ $0.25 per page

0.25 < 0.27

So Printer B has the better rate of cost
