Question

Find the unit price. If necessary, round your answer to the nearest cent. You would enter an answer like $0.49/pound, the value (like 0.49) in the first box and the appropriate unit (like pound) in the second boX $8.39 for 12 kg

Answer 1

To find the unit price, you divide the total cost of $8.39 by 12 kg, which results in a unit price of approximately $0.70 per kilogram, rounded to the nearest cent.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the unit price of an item, you divide the total cost of the item by the total number of units. For the given problem, the total cost is $8.39 for 12 kilograms (kg) of the item. The unit price is calculated by dividing the total cost by the number of kilograms.

Unit Price = Total Cost / Number of Kilograms

= $8.39 / 12 kg

When you perform the division, you find that the unit price is approximately $0.70 per kilogram.

Since we are asked to round to the nearest cent if necessary, the final unit price is $0.70/kg.

Answer 2

For a determined product you can buy 12Kg for $8.39. To determine how much 1Kg of said product costs, you can apply cross multiplication to calculate it:

If 12 Kg cost $8.39

1 Kg costs $x:

`\begin{gathered} (8.39)/(12)=(x)/(1) \\ (8.39)/(12)=x \\ x=0.699\cong0.70 \end{gathered}`

The cost is $0.70/Kg
