Three seedless watermelons cost $27. If Rihanna buys 4 seedless watermelons at the same unit price how much will she pay?

My work:
3 watermelons: $27
4 watermelons: $36

Explain what I did to find my answer. What is the unit price?

you divided 27 by 3, and then found the unit price of $9. you then multiplied 9 x 4 to get $36.
