Question

Find the unit price for both quantities: 5 gallons of enamel paint for $62.00 and 8 gallons for $83.00

Answer 1

Unit 1= $12.4 per gallon

Unit 2= $10.375 per gallon

Explanation:

Given

`Quantity\ 1= 5\ gallons`

`Price = \$62.00`

`Quantity\ 2= 8\ gallons`

`Price =\$83.00`

Required

The unit price

The unit price is calculated as:

`Unit = (Price)/(Quantity)`

So, we have:

`Unit\ 1= (Price \ 1)/(Quantity\ 1)`

`Unit\ 1= (\$62.00)/(5\ gallons)`

Unit 1= $12.4 per gallon

`Unit\ 2= (Price \ 2)/(Quantity\ 2)`

`Unit\ 2= (\$83.00)/(8)`

Unit 2= $10.375 per gallon
