Question

What is the unit price for a piece of cheese if 1.24 pounds costs $11.25?

Answer 1

If you do the ratio between the price and the amount of cheese, you'll get the answer:


`(11.25\$)/(1.24\ lb) = \bf 9.07(\$)/(lb)`

Answer 2

we know that

The unit price is the cost per unit, and to find the unit price, divide the price by the number of units

so

`Unit\ price =(11.25)/(1.24) (usd)/(pound) \\ \\ Unit\ price=9.07(usd)/(pound)`

therefore

the answer is

The unit price is
`9.07(usd)/(pound)`
