Answer 1

Determine the cost of 2 cereal box.

`2\cdot2.59=5.18`

So if individual 2 cereal box of $5.18 then one cereal box is free means that individual buy 3 cereal box for $5.18.

If individual save $1 per box then cost of one cereal box is $1.59.

`1.59\cdot3=4.77`

Thus save $1 per box is better incentive as individual pay less for same number of boxes.
