Question

One bag of pretzels cost 3$ per bag. 5 bags of pretzels cost 10$ assuming the bags are same size which has the lower unit price (price per bag)

Answer 1

First set has a unit price of $3 per bag.

Second set has a unit price of $2 per bag.

We can see that the second set has the lower unit price per bag.

Step-by-step explanation

One bag of pretzels costs $3 per bag.

5 bags of pretzels cost $10

We are asked to find the set which has the lower unit price.

First set costs $3 per bag.

Second set

5 bags of pretzels cost $10

5 bags = $10

1 bag = x dollars

We can write a mathematical expression by cross multiplying

5 × x = 1 × 10

5x = 10

Divide both sides by 5

(5x/5) = (10/5)

x = $2

Hence, the second set costs $2 per bag

Hope this Helps!!!
