25 gallons of milk for $56

We would need to determine the unit rate for a gallon of milk in this particular store.

If 25 gallons of milk for $56

56/25 = 2.24

Target sells 15 gallons of milk for 32.05 dollars

We would also to determine the unit rate for a gallon of milk in this particular store.

If 15 gallons of milk for $32.05
