1 answer

To determine which package of AA batteries has a better unit price, we need to calculate the cost per battery for both packages.

  1. For the 8-count package:

    • Price: $6.32
    • Number of batteries: 8
    • Unit price = Total price / Number of batteries
    • Unit price = 6.32 / 8 = $0.79 per battery
  2. For the 20-count package:

    • Price: $16.00
    • Number of batteries: 20
    • Unit price = Total price / Number of batteries
    • Unit price = 16.00 / 20 = $0.80 per battery

Now we compare the unit prices:

  • The unit price for the 8-count package is $0.79 per battery.
  • The unit price for the 20-count package is $0.80 per battery.

Conclusion: The 8-count package has a lower unit price ($0.79 per battery) than the 20-count package ($0.80 per battery). Therefore, the statement that the 8-count package is cheaper per battery is true.
