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

Answer 1

- 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.
