How can you find a unit rate when given a rate?

1 answer:

5 0

A unit rate has a denominator of 1, and rate does not. For example, I ran 18 miles in 3 hours. That is a rate of 18 miles/3 hours (18 over 3). To make that a unit rate we have to make the denominator 1, so we divide the top and bottom by 3. The unit rate would be 6 miles/1 hour (6/1).

densk [106]

To answer the problem given above, divide the difference of the prices by the original price and multiply the answer by 100%. This is,
((22450 - 19450) / 19450) x 100% = 15.42%
Therefore, the percentage markup of the new car is approximately 15.42%.
