Question

Sieranise is trying to find the unit price on a 12-pack of granola bars on sale for $2.99. Her sister says that at that price, each bar would cost just under 25 cents. Is she correct, and how do you know? If she is not, how would Sieranise’s sister find the correct price?

Answer 1

It is correct, the cost per granola bar is $0.25

Explanation:

You would divide 12 and $2.99

2.99/12

Equals to 0.29166666(repeating)

You would then round the number since 0.2491666 is a correct money amount, making it 0.25.

$2.99/12 = $0.25 (rounded)

The cost per granola bar would be just under $0.25.

Hope this helps!
