To determine which package of printer cartridges is a better deal, Lizzie should find the price per cartridge for each package. The formula that calculates the price per cartridge is:
Price per cartridge = Total price / Number of cartridges
Given that Lizzie enters the number of cartridges in cell B2 and the price in cell C2, the correct formula for calculating the price per cartridge is:
=C2/B2
However, since you're looking for options presented in your response choices, it seems there may have been a misunderstanding because none of the given options directly correspond to the correct formula for calculating the price per cartridge.
If Lizzie wants to compute the cost per cartridge directly for the packages you mentioned:
For the first package (30 cartridges for $3,020), the calculation would be:
- $3,020 / 30 = $100.67 per cartridge
For the second package (60 cartridges for $6,050), the calculation would be:
- $6,050 / 60 = $100.83 per cartridge
Hence, she would realize that the first option, with 30 cartridges, at $100.67 per cartridge, is the better deal.
If specifically looking for one of the options listed, while not perfect, the closest match in terms of dividing price by quantity would conceptually relate to one of them. The correct operation (dividing to find price per cartridge) is not listed, so you should clarify that the suitable operation should be:
=C2/B2
But as no option fits this exactly, Lizzie may need to compute this differently if instructive options are required.
