A bag of baseballs costs \(\$12\). There are 15 balls in the bag. Another bag of baseballs costs \(\$15\) for 20 balls. Which bag prices individual baseballs lower?

Explanation

Compute for the cost of one baseball in the first bag (costs \(\$12\) per bag):
Cost of one ball in first bag =\( \$12 \div15 = 0.80\)
Compute for the cost of one baseball in the second bag (costs \(\$15 \) per bag):
Cost of one ball in the second bag = \( \$15 \div 20 = \$0.75\)
Therefore, the individual baseballs in the bag of 20 balls are priced lower.
