A healthy snack at a popular warehouse store is sold in two different ways. The first box contains 5 large packages with 12 items in each package for $12. The second box contains 30 individual packages with 5 items in each package for $15. Use this information to answer the following questions.
In the first box, what is the unit price of each item?
To find the unit price of each item in the first box, we divide the total price of the box by the total number of items. The total price of the box is $12, and the total number of items is 5 large packages with 12 items in each package, or 5 * 12 = 60 items.
So, the unit price of each item in the first box is $12 / 60 = $0.2.
