ANSWER: Company C
EXPLANATION:
1) Find the least common multiple of 6, 10 and 12. This would be 60 because:
6 x 10 = 60
10 x 6 = 60
12 x 5 = 60
2) Now you can figure out how much money each company gives for every $60 worth of gift wrap by multiplying the amount they gave in the paragraph by the same as what you did in the calculations above.
<u>Company A</u>
$1 x 10 = $10 for every $60 worth of gift wrap sold
<u>Company B</u>
$2 x 6 = $12 for every $60 worth of gift wrap sold
<u>Company C </u>
$3 x 5 = $15 for every $60 worth of gift wrap sold
ARGUMENT
Company C should be selected because they give the most money per dollar ($15 per $60 worth of gift wrap sold).
