A certain electronic component is sold in boxes of 54 for $16.20 and in boxes of 27 for $13.20. A customer who needed only 54 components for a project had to buy 2 boxes of 27 because boxes of 54 were unavailable . Approximately how much more did the customer pay for each component due to the unavailability of the larger boxes?
(A) $0.33
(B) $0.19
(C) $0.11
(D) $0.06
(E) $0.03
Boxes of 54: the price per one component = 16.20/54;
Boxes of 27: the price per one component = 13.20/27;
The difference = 13.20/27 – 16.20/54 = (26.4 – 16.2)/54 = ~0.19.
