Question

Golf balls come in a variety of packages. A particular brand of golf ball comes in a package of 12 golf balls and a package of 18 golf balls. The package with 12 golf balls costs $4.47, and the package with 18 golf balls costs $14.46. What is the better deal? What is the unit price of the better deal?

Answer 1

Explanation:

We want $/ball, not balls/$

$4.47 / (12 balls) = $0.3725 / ball

$14.46 / (18 balls) = $0.8033 / ball

The 12 pack is the lowest cost per ball, and so is the better deal.

The unit price is $0.3725 per ball.

Answer 2

Answer: The better deal is the package of 18, which has a unit price of $1.25 per ball.

I hope this helps!

Explanation:

The unit price is $2.69 per ball for the package of 12.

The unit price is $1.25 per ball for the package of 18.
