A business is ordering copy paper. At one company, a box with 10 reams of paper costs $56. At another company, a box with 8 reams of paper costs $36. What is the unit price for each ream?

Answer 1

To find the unit price for each ream, we need to divide the total cost of each box by the number of reams in that box.

For the first company, a box with 10 reams of paper costs $56. So the unit price for each ream is $56/10 = $<<56/10=5.60>>5.60.

For the second company, a box with 8 reams of paper costs $36. So the unit price for each ream is $36/8 = $<<36/8=4.50>>4.50.

Therefore, the unit price for each ream at the first company is $5.60 and at the second company is $4.50.
