Question

8-count AA batteries costs 6.32
. A package of
20-count AA batteries costs 16.00
. Which statement about the unit prices is true?

Answer 1

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.
