Question

A grocery store sells two brands of paper towels. Brand A contains 80 sheets and costs $10.08.

Brand B contains 105 sheets and costs $13.02. What is the difference in cost, in dollars, per sheet
between the two brands of paper towels?

Answer 1

The difference in cost per sheet between the two brands of paper towels is 2 cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the difference in cost per sheet between the two brands of paper towels, we need to calculate the cost per sheet for each brand.

Brand A: Cost = $10.08, Sheets = 80

Cost per sheet for Brand A = $10.08 / 80 = $0.126 per sheet

Brand B: Cost = $13.02, Sheets = 105

Cost per sheet for Brand B = $13.02 / 105 = $0.124 per sheet

The difference in cost per sheet between the two brands is $0.126 - $0.124 = $0.002 (2 cents).
