Learner's response:
Scenerio A
1) I have the total cost and quantity of both items but i need the unit cost for each.
6 mega rolls for $4.59
12 mega rolls for $9.02
2) unit cost = total cost divided by quantity
3) I would divide the quantity of each item by the total cost then compare the unit price of each to determine the better deal
$4.59 divided by 6 = .77
$9.02 divided by 12 = .75
4) If my calculations are correct i would buy the 12 mega rolls because im actually getting more for less.
