Question

Amazon sells crayons in boxes of 8, 16, or 24 with the prices listed below. Which is the best buy?
8 crayons for $2.60
16 crayons for $3.15
24 crayons for $5.50
(1 point)
Box of 8 crayons
Box of 24 crayons
Box of 16 crayon

Answer 1

Compute price per crayon:
- 8 for $2.60 → $2.60 ÷ 8 = $0.325 each
- 16 for $3.15 → $3.15 ÷ 16 = $0.1969 each
- 24 for $5.50 → $5.50 ÷ 24 = $0.2292 each

The 16‑crayon box is the best buy (lowest price per crayon).
