What the numbers say
A single bag of coffee at $40.00, shipped free, keeps $12.05 after every cost (30.1%). The pack of two at 10% off keeps $27.83, and the pack of three at 15% off $41.36.
The packs earn more per order because the order pays one pick-and-pack fee and one fixed card fee whatever it holds, and the label grows slowly with weight: $9.29 for one unit, $12.12 for three.
Per visitor, the pack of three earns as much as the single even if 70.9% fewer visitors buy it.
