I see that the answer has been given but just for fun I'd be curious to see what someone thinks about my answer - always like to see how people look at things differently..... - I normalized all the numbers based on what was given above (given numbers are underlined/bolded) to find out the price of 1 unit for each item listed 1/ 50 / 100$.25 / $12.5/$25
$.01 /$.50 / $1$.0075 / $.375 /$.75

My assumption was that

on sale meant "available for purchase at the lowest price"

I said the third item was "on sale" because it has the lowest unit price of \$.0075 for 1.
what do you think?
