  1. Who does math on the weekends?
  2. its increasing as it gets more in quantity
  3. the more wings you buy the more you pay per 'wing'. It should be going 'other way' :)
  4. the more you buy the more you pay
  5. I just got them recently, but I remember them being 10 bucks for 20 and $15 for 30. And I shocked that they were all the same price per wing. So maybe you got the prices wrong? If not, you went to a pretty dumb kfc.
  6. Well if you can buy 6 wings for less than $3, and you want 30 then get 5 orders which is less than $15. If you buy the larger order you pay more. At roughly 50c per wing it just doesn't compute.
  7. Such a deal! Let's see--six wings at $2.99 means each wing is just under 50 cents. 20 wings at 10.99 means each wing is about 55 cents, and 30 wings at 16.99 means each wing is about 56 cents. If you want to buy 30 wings, you're better of buying 5 packages of 6 wings (at 14.95) instead of the "bonus pack" 30 wings.
  8. You mean the more ya buy the more it costs. Odds are it is econimcs problem more than a math problem. Cometition decreases as you enter the hire volume sales. Hence the brand loyalty you developed means that you can charge more for large batches. Strange, huh.
  9. the more you buy the more it costs :-) per wing that is
  10. 6 wings cost $2.99 so 20 wings should cost 2.99/6*20=$9.97 6 wings cost $2.99 so 30 wings should cost 2.99/6*30=$14.95 if teh 6 wings cost is corrcet the the 20 wings & 30 wings costs are wrong
  11. $2.99=6 WINGS.6X3 orders=18 wings=$9.00.17-11=6. 20 wings=$11.00. 30 wings=10 more for $6.00 more.So,18 wings should be $9.00 and you have to pay $2.00 more for two more wings to equel the 20 you get for the $10.99 you'd have to pay for the 20 wings order!
