Question

Find the unit price if 7 pounds of sugar sells for $2.50

Answer 1

2.50 divide by 7= .36 cents for each pound

Answer 2

Answer: 36 cents

Step-by-step explanation: Unit price means the cost per unit which in this case is the cost per pound of sugar.

Since we know that it costs $2.50 for 7 pounds of sugar, to find the cost for 1 pound of sugar, we need to divide 7 into $2.50 or just 2.50 ÷ 7.

2.50 ÷ 7 = 0.357142857 which we can round up to 36 cents.

Therefore, the unit price is 36 cents per pound of sugar.
