Answer:

Unit rate is $20,000/show

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the information given, we have that a concert tour grossed $160,000 for 8 shows.

The unit rate will be expressed as the price toured for 1 show at the same rate.

Given the following parameters:

• Cost of concert tour for 8 shows = $160,000

,

• Number of shows = 8 shows

Calculate the unit rate:


\text{Unit rate=}\frac{\cos t\text{ of concert tours}}{Number\text{ of shows}}

Substitute the given parameters into the formula to have:


\begin{gathered} \text{Unit rate=}(160000)/(8) \\ \text{Units rate=\$20,000/show} \end{gathered}

This shows that the rate a s a unit rate is $20,000/show.
