Question

Jeff has recorded the cost of insurance premiums on his car for a particular insurance company.

Daniel pays $1,150 per year for insurance premiums on his car. Whose unit rate is lower in terms of cost per year, and what is the rate?

Answer 1

For 1 year Jeff pays $1200.

For 6 years he pays 7200 / 6 = 1200 per year.

For 9 years he pays 10800 / 9 = 1200 per year.

Jeff's unit rate is $1,200 per year.

Daniel pays $1,150 per year.

150 is less than 1200, so the answer would be:

A. Daniel's unit rate is lower. It is $1,150 per year
