Which box gives you more cereal for your money? First, solve for the volume of each box of cereal. FORMULA SHEET Second, find the UNIT PRICE for each box. PRICE/Cubic Inch. DO NOT ROUND. WRITE OUT ALL OF THE DECIMALS. Third, compare the prices. Which box of cereal is cheaper per cubic inch?
Volume Box A: ?
Volume of Box B:?
Box A Price Per Cubic Unit: ($/in Cubed) =? *Decimal Form
Box B Price Per Cubic Unit: ($/in Cubed) ? *Decimal Form
Which box is cheaper per cubic unit? Type A or B
Volume of Box A: 10 x 4 x 16 = 640 cubic inches
Volume of Box B: 8 x 2 x 10 = 160 cubic inches
Box A Price Per Cubic Unit: Let's say the price of Box A is $20. The price per cubic unit would be 20 / 640 = $0.03125
Box B Price Per Cubic Unit: Let's say the price of Box B is $15. The price per cubic unit would be 15 / 160 = $0.09375
Therefore, Box A is cheaper per cubic unit.
