1. To answer this question you will need to find the surface area of both boxes.

2. You will then take the surface area and multiply it by the number of boxes and then by the cost per square inch for wrapping paper.

3. Finally, subtract the 2 amounts to find out your savings for using Box B.

The answer is that you will save $217.87.
