They need 10 pieces. Compare total cost and cost per piece:
- 10 individual at $3 each: $30 total → $3.00 per piece
- 5 two-packs at $5 each: $25 total → $2.50 per piece
- 12-pack at $20: $20 total → $20/12 ≈ $1.67 per piece
- 20-pack at $35: $35 total → $1.75 per piece
The 12-pack at $20 is cheapest both in total cost and per piece, so it makes the most financial sense.
