Have you ever been at the grocery store and stood, staring, at two different sizes of the same item wondering which one is the better deal? If so, you are not alone. A UNIT RATE could help you out when this happens and make your purchasing decision an easy one.
In this lesson, you will learn what UNIT RATES are and how to apply them in everyday comparison situations. Click the links below and complete the appropriate sections of the Unit Rates handout.

Answer:
$49,893.6
Step-by-step explanation:
$555.26/mo(30yr)(12 mo/yr) - $150000 = $49,893.6
The lengths of the sides are 7, 23 and 24.
In order to find this, we need to add all of the side lengths together and set equa to 54. This will allow us to solve for n.
n + 3n + 2 + 4n - 4 = 52
8n - 2 = 52
8n = 54
n = 7
This gives us the length of the first side. To solve for the others, plug 7 into the equations.
3n + 2
3(7) + 2
21 + 2
23
Then the next one.
4n - 4
4(7) - 4
28 - 4
24
