A package of 8

Question

-count AA batteries costs $6.16
. A package of 20
-count AA batteries costs $15.60
. Which statement about the unit prices is true?

Answer 1

To compare the unit prices of the two packages of AA batteries, we need to calculate the cost per battery for each package.

1. For the 8-count package:

   • Total cost: $6.16
   • Number of batteries: 8
   • Unit price = Total cost / Number of batteries = $6.16 / 8 = $0.77 per battery

2. For the 20-count package:

   • Total cost: $15.60
   • Number of batteries: 20
   • Unit price = Total cost / Number of batteries = $15.60 / 20 = $0.78 per battery

Now we can compare the unit prices:

• 8-count package: $0.77 per battery
• 20-count package: $0.78 per battery

True Statement: The 8-count package has a lower unit price ($0.77 per battery) compared to the 20-count package ($0.78 per battery).
