Question

You work at Dave's Donut Shop. The company has

decided to redesign the box it uses to hold one
dozen donuts. There are 12 donuts in one dozen.
Each donut has a diameter of 3.5 inches and a
height of 1.5 Inches. The donuts in the original box
stood on their side. You have been asked to design
a new box that will allow the dozen donuts to lie flat
as shown.

New Box
It costs $15.00 for 25 of the original boxes. Dave wants the cost of the new
box to be less than or equal to the cost of the original box. Does the new box
cost less than the original box? Include all necessary work to support your
answer.
Type your answer in the space provided.

Answer 1

It should cost less because the only change in the box is the size and design, not the amount of donuts
