Question

Toilet paper is sold in packages like 6 rolls for $2.49 and 28 rolls for $7.99

determine the unit price for each toilet paper

Answer 1

Explanation:

6 rolls = $2.49

and

28 rolls = $7.99

To find unit price of each roll for the 2 packages listed above, we have to divide the total price by total number of rolls in the package.

First Package:

2.49/6 = $0.415 = $0.42 per roll

Second Package:

7.99/28 = $0.285 = $0.29 per roll

The second package is better to buy.
