Volume of Box B: 10in x 8in x 2in =
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 = in^3
Volume Box B = in^3
Box A Price per cubic unit ($/in^3)=$
per in^3
Box B Price per cubic unit ($/in^3)=$
per in^3
Which box is cheaper per cubic unit? Type A or B
- Volume of Box A: 16in x 4in x 10in = 640in^3
- Volume of Box B: 10in x 8in x 2in = 160in^3
- Box A Price per cubic unit ($/in^3) =
- Box B Price per cubic unit ($/in^3) =
- Comparing the prices, the box that is cheaper per cubic unit is Box A.
