Question

Morgan Office Supply sells 8 reams of Brand X paper for $40 and 4 reams of Brand Y paper for $19. What is the cost savings per ream of paper for the cheapest brand?

Answer 1

Answer:

  $0.25 per ream

Step-by-step explanation:

The costs per ream are ...

  X: $40/(8 reams) = $5/ream

  Y: $19/(4 reams) = $4.75/ream

The savings per ream is $5.00 -4.75 = $0.25 for the cheapest brand.
