A 15 pack is 1/15 of a 15 pack per can, and a 12 pack is 1/12 of a 12 pack per can, so…

1/12 * 15/1 = 15/12

15/12 - (12 * 1/12) = 3/12

3/12 * 12/1 = 3 more cans

Yeah, the math checks out.

But also, one can of a 15 pack is 1/15 of a pack, and one can of a 12 pack is 1/12 of a pack, so…

(15 * 1/15) - (12 * 1/12) = 0

Clearly both packs have the same number of packs per pack.

And the cans in the 15 pack are less percentage of a pack than the cans of a 12 pack, and are therefore worth less, which makes them worthless.
