NAIL PRICES Box of 75 for $6.50 Box of 200 for $15.50 Box of 500 for $36.00 Box of 1000 for $78.00 A) 2¢ B) 3¢ C) 4¢ D) 5¢

It´s A not C

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:C

Explanation:

The best deal can be calculated by dividing the cost of the nail by the total amount of nails present in the pack.

A = $6.50/75 = $0.076

B = $15.50/200 = $0.0775

C = $36.00/500 = $0.072

D = $72.00/1000 = $0.078

From the above, the best deal is C (500 nails for $36.00) and the worst deal is D (1000 nails for $72.00).
