5.60 reams/$1.00 and 4.50 reams/$1.00
5.60 reams/$1.00 and 4.50 reams/$1.00
0.18/ream/$1.00 and 0.22 ream/$1.00
0.18/ream/$1.00 and 0.22 ream/$1.00
The correct answer is: $5.60/ream and $4.50/ream
The unit price for each ream at the first company is $5.60/ream, and the unit price for each ream at the second company is $4.50/ream.
To find the unit price for each ream of paper, we need to divide the total cost of the box by the number of reams in the box.
For the first company, the box with 10 reams of paper costs $56. Therefore, the unit price for each ream is $56 divided by 10, which is $5.60/ream.
For the second company, the box with 8 reams of paper costs $36. Therefore, the unit price for each ream is $36 divided by 8, which is $4.50/ream.
So, the correct answer is: $5.60/ream and $4.50/ream.
