A company needs to package 2400 pencils. A box in the shape of a rectangular prism can hold 60 pencils. A cylindrical container can hold 80 pencils. Each box cost the company $0.50, while each cylindrical container $0.75

Answer: A
Step-by-step explanation:
2,400 divided by 60 will give you 40. 40 multiplied by 0.50 give you $20.00.
2,400 divide by 80 will give you 30 but 30 multiplied but 0.75 gives you $22.50.
$22.50 minus $20.00 gives you $2.50
Let’s solve to answer the question.
Divide the amount of pencils the company needs by the amount of pencils the box holds.
2,400/60=40.
Now multiply it by the price.
40*.5=$20.
Repeat.
2400/80=30
30*.75=22.5
The cylindrical containers cost less.
Hope this helps!
