Question

Seth is trying to find the unit price for a package of blank compact disc on sale at 10 for $5.49. Find his mistake

Answer 1

just do 5.49 divided by 10. which equals .549 per disc

Answer 2

Seth mistake was that he only looked at the package price.

Explanation:

A unit price is the price for one blank compact disc. Therefore to determine the unit price for a package of discs, we need to take the price of the package and divide it by the quantity of discs:

`5.49/10=0.549`

`=0.55`

One disc cost approximately $0.55. Seth mistake was that he only looked at the package price.
