Question

A 2-column table with 4 rows. Column 1 is labeled Number of Bouquets with entries 3, 6, 9, 12. Column 2 is labeled Price (dollars) with entries 9, 18, 27, 36.

The table shows the price for buying bouquets of flowers at a farmer’s market.

Answer 1

$3 per bouquet

Explanation:

Answer 2

The unit rate is $3

Explanation:

The given table can be written as follows:

No. of Bouquets 3 6 9 12

Price 9 18 27 36

In order to find the unit price, the price will be divided by the units.

So,

`Unit\ price = (Total\ price)/(Number\ of\ bouquets)`

Taking a single pair from the table (Any pair of number of bouquets and price of those number of bouquets can be taken for this purpose)

`Unit\ price = (9)/(3)`

= 3

Hence,

The unit rate is $3
