Use any column and divide the cost by the number of tickets.
For example, do $11/4, or $22/8. Any of those divisions will give you the same answer.

$11/4 = $2.75/ticket

Answer:

$2.75

Explanation:

In the given table first row represents movies/week and second row represents the cost.

We need to find the unit rate for the table.

From the given table it is clear that cost of 4 movies/week is 11.


\text{Unit Rate}=(Cost)/(Movies/week)


\text{Unit Rate}=(11)/(4)


\text{Unit Rate}=2.75

We have,


\text{Unit Rate}=(11)/(4)=(13.75)/(5)=(19.25)/(7)=(22)/(8)=2.75

Hence, the unit rate is $2.75.
