A business is ordering copy paper. At one company a bow with 10 teams of paper cost $56. At another company a box with 8 reams of paper costs $36. What is the unit price for each team?
To find the unit price for each ream, we need to divide the total cost of each box by the number of reams in each box.
For the first company, a box with 10 reams costs $56.
The unit price for each ream is $56 / 10 = $<<56/10=5.6>>5.6.
For the second company, a box with 8 reams costs $36.
The unit price for each ream is $36 / 8 = $<<36/8=4.5>>4.5.
Therefore, the unit price for each team of paper is $5.6 and $4.5.
