To determine which box is better to buy, we need to compare the cost and quantity of items in each box.
The first box contains 5 large packages, with 12 items in each package. This means it contains a total of 5 * 12 = 60 items. The cost of this box is $12.
The second box contains 30 individual packages, with 5 items in each package. This means it contains a total of 30 * 5 = 150 items. The cost of this box is $15.
Therefore, the second box is a better deal as it provides more quantity of items (150 > 60) for only a slightly higher cost ($15 > $12).
A healthy snack at a popular warehouse store is sold in two ways. The first box contains 5 large packages with 12 items in each package for $12. The second box contains 30 individual packages with 5 items in each package for $15. Use this information to answer the following questions.
