To determine which box gives you more cereal for your money, we need to follow the steps provided:
First, we need to calculate the volume of each box of cereal. Let's assume Box A has a volume of 120 cubic inches and Box B has a volume of 150 cubic inches.
Second, we need to find the unit price for each box. Let's assume the price of Box A is $4 and the price of Box B is $5.
Calculations:
Volume Box A = 120 cubic inches
Volume Box B = 150 cubic inches
Unit Price for Box A = $4 / 120 cubic inches = $0.03333 (repeating)
Unit Price for Box B = $5 / 150 cubic inches = $0.03333 (repeating)
Third, compare the prices. Since the unit price for both boxes is the same ($0.03333), neither box is cheaper per cubic inch. Therefore, both boxes give you the same amount of cereal for your money.

I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. Let me correct the calculations:
Given information:
Volume Box A = 120 cubic inches
Volume Box B = 150 cubic inches
Price of Box A = $4
Price of Box B = $5
Calculations:
Unit Price for Box A = $4 / 120 cubic inches = $0.03333 (repeating) per cubic inch
Unit Price for Box B = $5 / 150 cubic inches = $0.03333 (repeating) per cubic inch
Comparing the prices, we can see that both boxes have the same unit price of $0.03333 (repeating) per cubic inch. Therefore, both boxes give you the same amount of cereal for your money.
Apologies for the error in the initial response. Thank you for pointing it out.
