Question

Harper bought 4 chairs for $232. What is the unit price? How much will 6 chairs cost?

Answer 1

The unit price is $58

Six chairs will cost $348

Explanation:

The unit price of an item is the price per item.

The unit price is calculated by dividing the total cost with the total number of items bouh

`\text{unit price = total cost / total \# of items bought }`

Now in our case, we bought 4 chairs which cost us $232; therefore, the unit price is

`(\$232)/(4)=\frac{\$58}{\text{chair}}`

Hence, the unit price id $58.

We now know the price of a single chair; therefore, the total cost of 6 chairs is

`\frac{\$58\text{ }}{\text{chair}}*6\text{ chairs}`
`=\$348.`

Hence, the price of 6 chairs $348.
