Answer 1

The statement "The 8-count pack of AA batteries has a lower unit price of $0.77 per battery" is true.

Here's an explanation:

To determine the unit price, we divide the total cost of the package by the number of batteries it contains.

For the 8-count pack:

Unit price = Total cost / Number of batteries

Unit price = $6.16 / 8

Unit price = $0.77 per battery

For the 20-count pack:

Unit price = Total cost / Number of batteries

Unit price = $15.60 / 20

Unit price = $0.78 per battery

Since the unit price of the 8-count pack is $0.77 per battery and the unit price of the 20-count pack is $0.78 per battery, the statement that the 8-count pack of AA batteries has a lower unit price of $0.77 per battery is true.
