A) 12 pack for $2.00

B) 24 pack for $3.50

C) 36 pack for $5.75

D) 50 pack for $8.25

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

We need to find the price of 1 pack for each deal.

12 pack for 2.00

2/12 =$0.17 per pack

24 pack for 3.50

3.50/24 = $0.15 per pack

36 pack for 5.75

5.75/36 = $0.16 per pack

50 pack for 8.25

8.25/50 = $0.17 per pack

100 pack for 15.75

15.75/100 = $0.16 per pack

the lowest deal per pack is for 24 pack for $3.50 since it has the lowest amount per pack.

correct answer is B
