Latex-free gloves can be purchased in a box of 100 for $44.95 or a box of 50 for $23.50.
For box of 100 gloves, each glove = 44.95/100 =
$0.4495
For box of 50 gloves, each glove = 23.50/50 = $0.47
Thus the box of 100
gloves is good to buy than the box of 50 gloves.
Answer:
The unit rate in a box of \(100\) latex-free gloves is less than the unit rate in a box of \(50\) latex-free gloves
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Find the unit rate in a box of \(100\) latex-free gloves
To find the unit rate divide the total cost by the number of gloves
so
\(\frac{44.95}{100}=0.45\frac{\$}{glove}\)
Step 2
Find the unit rate in a box of \(50\) latex-free gloves
To find the unit rate divide the total cost by the number of gloves
so
\(\frac{23.50}{50}=0.47\frac{\$}{glove}\)
The unit rate in a box of \(100\) latex-free gloves is less than the unit rate in a box of \(50\) latex-free gloves
