A bussniess is ordering copy Paper at one company a boxwoth 10 reams of paper costs 56 at another company a box with 8 reams of paper costs 36 wha is the unit for eacg
The unit price for each ream of paper at the first company is 56/10 = $5.60.
The unit price for each ream of paper at the second company is 36/8 = $4.50.
To find the cost per ream for each company, we need to divide the total cost by the number of reams in a box.
Let's calculate the cost per ream for the first company:
Total cost for a box with 10 reams = $56
Cost per ream = Total cost / Number of reams
Cost per ream = $56 / 10 reams
Cost per ream = $5.60/ream
Now let's calculate the cost per ream for the second company:
Total cost for a box with 8 reams = $36
Cost per ream = Total cost / Number of reams
Cost per ream = $36 / 8 reams
Cost per ream = $4.50/ream
Therefore, the unit cost for each ream of paper is $5.60 for the first company and $4.50 for the second company.
To find the unit price for each box of copy paper at the two companies, we need to divide the cost of each box by the number of reams it contains.
Let's calculate it for each company:
Company A:
- Box with 10 reams costs $56.
- To find the unit price, divide the cost by the number of reams: $56 / 10 reams = $5.60 per ream.
Therefore, the unit price for each ream of copy paper at Company A is $5.60.
Company B:
- Box with 8 reams costs $36.
- To find the unit price, divide the cost by the number of reams: $36 / 8 reams = $4.50 per ream.
Therefore, the unit price for each ream of copy paper at Company B is $4.50.
