Question

A company orders 10 boxed lunches from a deli for $83. If each boxed lunch costs the same amount, what is the unit cost of each boxed lunch?

Answer 1

`(83)/(10)` = $8.3 unit cost

Explanation:

The unit cost is defined as the cost of 1 unit of a good. Since 10 boxed lunches are $83 dollars, the cost of one boxed lunch must be 83 dollars / 10 boxed lunches. In other words, the ratio of dollars to boxed lunches is the unit cost.

Answer 2

10 boxes so:

83/10

=$8.3
