Answer:

$2.55

Explanation:

He Sale flyer for cereal at a local grocery store states: Cereal 3 for $7.65 or 1 for $2.69.

How much is the unit price if you buy using the 3-box deal?

The unit price for the 3 box deal is :

3 boxes = $7.65

1 box = $x

Cross Multiply

3 × x = 1 × $7.65

3x = $7.65

x = $7.65/3

x = $2.55

The unit price for the 3 box deal is $2.55
