This actually isn’t too hard to solve. Double the value of each option by removing the folding requirement from the 2-ply and halving the price of the 3-ply to get an even comparison of 2-ply (330 sheets for $0.70) and 3-ply (300 sheets for $0.60), then recognize that it’s not worth adding 1/6 the price for 1/10th the sheets, to see that the 3-ply option is better.
300 sheets for 1.2 is a nice division by .6: 500 sheets for $2. So now all we gotta do is multiply by .7 to get 350 sheets for 1.40.
Considering the fold, we are at 330 effective sheets for 1.40. 350 > 330, get the 3 ply (lol).
This is a little bit funky obviously and just works because of seeing a divisor. If not for that I would have tried once each way to get cost per full effective sheet or cost per half effective sheet to see which one has nicer numbers.

By the first sentence, you’ve already done more problem solving than an LLM-brained person.
Not folding 3-ply is asking for added expenses in the form of water and soap though… Push right through em
It hurts my brain to do it that way.

… Or just open the calculator app.
I’ve had the calculator open for 15 minutes but nothing is happening, is it broken? Help?
Funny how brains can work so differently lol
Feel like bidet’s must be accounted for if we gonna start the math justifications
