$10.50 because 1.75 multiplied by 5.99 is 10.4825. 10.4825 rounded to the nearest cent would be 10.50.

Answer:

Unit rate defined as the rate are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 3 feet per second or 9 miles per hour, they are called unit rates.

As per the statement: Regina purchased 1.75 pounds of turkey breast from her local deli for $5.99 per pound.

⇒ unit rate per pound = $5.99.

by definition of unit rate;

Total she spends on turkey breast =
\text{Unit rate per pound} * 1.75

Substitute the given values, we get;

Total she spends on turkey breast =
5.99 * 1.75 =\$10.4825

Therefore, $10.50 (to the nearest cent) did she spend.
