Solution

To find the unit price for each brand, we need to divide the total price of each pack by the number of pencils in each pack.

For Brand A: 4.48÷24pencils=4.48 ÷ 24 pencils = 0.1867 per pencil

For Brand B: 6.24÷36pencils=6.24 ÷ 36 pencils = 0.1733 per pencil

Therefore, Brand B is the better buy based on the unit price because it costs less per pencil.
