A business is ordering copy paper. At one company, a box with 10 reams of paper costs $56. At another company, a box with 8 reams of paper costs $36. What is the unit price for each ream?
A. $5.60/ream and $4.50/ream
B. 0.18/ream/$1.00 and 0.22 ream/$1.00
C. $0.18/ream and $0.22/ream
D. 5.60 reams/$1.00 and 4.50 reams/$1.00
To find the unit price for each ream, we divide the total price of the box by the number of reams in the box.
For the first company, a box with 10 reams of paper costs $56. Therefore, the unit price for each ream is $56 / 10 = $5.60/ream.
For the second company, a box with 8 reams of paper costs $36. Therefore, the unit price for each ream is $36 / 8 = $4.50/ream.
So the unit prices for each ream are $5.60/ream and $4.50/ream, which is answer choice A.
To find the unit price for each ream, 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, so the unit price for each ream is $56/10 = $5.60/ream.
For the second company, the box with 8 reams of paper costs $36, so the unit price for each ream is $36/8 = $4.50/ream.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. $5.60/ream and $4.50/ream.
To find the unit price for each ream, we need to divide the total cost of each box by the number of reams in the box. Let's calculate the unit price for each company:
For the first company, a box with 10 reams of paper costs $56. So, the unit price for each ream is $56 divided by 10, which is $5.60/ream.
For the second company, a 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 A. $5.60/ream and $4.50/ream.
