Question

explain everything please and thank you .

Answer 1

walmart sells pens at 889/15 = 59+ cents per pen, 59.2666...

shopko sells at 490/8 = 61+ centers per pen, 61.250 cents

Walmart saves you slightly less than 2 cents per pen over shopko

divide total cost by number of pens to get the price of one pen
