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