The math that this does is behind the scenes and not visible to the customer.
So to make things look correct on the frontend that the customer sees you can do some math behind their view.
Try it with this senario:
test item at $1.00 with an attribute to sell a case of 12 first at $1.00 each
Then at some discount for the case. And see what is displayed to your customer.
Now using factor and offset you can change what the customer sees
