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? (1 point)
Responses
$5.60/ream and $4.50/ream
$5.60/ream and $4.50/ream
$0.18/ream and $0.22/ream
$0.18/ream and $0.22/ream
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
The unit price for each ream at the first company is $5.60/ream and at the second company is $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.
For the first company:
Total cost = $56
Number of reams = 10
Unit price = Total cost / Number of reams
= $56 / 10
= $5.60/ream
For the second company:
Total cost = $36
Number of reams = 8
Unit price = Total cost / Number of reams
= $36 / 8
= $4.50/ream
Therefore, the unit price for each ream is:
$5.60/ream and $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, a box with 10 reams of paper costs $56. To find the unit price for each ream, we divide $56 by 10.
56/10 = $5.60/ream
The unit price for each ream at the first company is $5.60.
For the second company, a box with 8 reams of paper costs $36. To find the unit price for each ream, we divide $36 by 8.
36/8 = $4.50/ream
The unit price for each ream at the second company is $4.50.
So, the correct answer is:
$5.60/ream and $4.50/ream
