Answer:

12 boxes of napkins for $5.88

Step-by-step explanation:

The softeez napkins are $0.50 each. Each pair of "cheaper" napkins should be at least one cent less than a dollar to be cheaper than the softeez napkins.

Dividing each price by the number of boxes of napkins, we get the price per box - 0.49, 0.51, 0.53, and 0.52 (in that order, going down).

The only ones cheaper than the napkins that are two boxes for a dollar are the first ones, which he can buy two boxes of for $0.98.
