Question

Nikki used the calculations shown to determine whether a carton of 12 eggs or a carton of 18 eggs was the better buy.
A carton of 12 eggs cost $2.39, and a carton of 18 eggs cost $3.39.
Unit price of the 12-egg carton = ($2.39)(12 eggs) = $28.68 per egg
Unit price of the 18-egg carton = ($3.39)(18 eggs) = $61.02 per egg
The 12-egg carton has the lower unit cost, so it is the better buy.
What was her first error?
She should have divided the cost of the carton by the number of eggs to find the price per egg.
