Point72 Hirevue trick question

Hi guys, 

Has anyone done the hirevue interview for Point72 Summer Academy yet?

How'd you go about the first question:

Company A sells paper coffee cups to all Costa Coffee locations in the UK. Company B sells dinner plates to Nando’s in the UK. Company A charges 1 pound for a pack of 100 cups and Company B charges 3 pounds for 1 dinner plate. Tell us exactly what information you would need to determine whether Company A or Company B has higher annual revenue and explain how you would calculate these two figures.

Is there a more creative way to answer than just saying Units x Price?

Thanks in advance!
