Answer 1

8.35

A company orders 25 boxed lunches from a deli for $208.75

What do we need to do to find the unit cost?

Given:

`25\\208.75`

We need to find the cost.

Therefore, we need to work on the numbers we are given:

• If each boxed lunch costs the same amount, then we need to divide
• We have to divide the numbers given.
• $208.75 / 25 = 8.35

Therefore, the unit cost is 8.35

Answer 2

To get the unit cost you write what you know as a division problem

208.75 / 25
= 8.35

Meaning the unit cost for each boxed lunch is $8.35
