Question

Find the unit price A) $3.19 170 g ( 6oz)B) $3.12 170 g ( 6oz)C) $5.49 170 g ( 6oz)

Answer 1

Finding unit price simply means getting the price for 1 item only.

part A)

`\begin{gathered} \text{unit price.} \\ (3.19)/(6)=0.53\text{ or 53 cents per oz} \end{gathered}`

part B)

`(3.12)/(6)=\text{ 0.52 or 52 cents per oz}`

part C)

`(5.49)/(6)\text{=0.92 0r 92 cents per oz}`

One reason we use oz was because dividing using a smaller number helps our answers appear in a money($) unit.

Final answers

part A) 53 cents per oz

part B) 52 cents per oz

part C) 92 cents per oz
