Answer:
The unit price is the cost per unit of an item or the cost/price for each item.
1) <u>4$</u> per pound. By simplifying the proportion (constant ratio) between the cost, and the pounds of apples. 3 pounds of apples cost 12$ → 3/3 pounds of apples cost 12/3$ → 4 dollars for every pound.
2) <u>2$</u> per pound. By evaluating the rate of change (change in the y over x or dependent variable over independent) in the equation: y = <u>2</u>x. y is the cost in dollars, and x is the pounds of apples. So there are 2 pounds (weight) of apples for every dollar.
3) <u>3$</u> per pound. Given a graph with a y scaled by 3, and an x scaled by 1 with a graph y = x or 1 unit up for every unit right. This must be equivalent to y = 3x. Where y is labeled as the cost in dollars, and x as the weight in pounds. So there are 3 dollars for every pound of apples.
4) Store B. Because 2 is less than 3 which is less than 4.
Answer:
x=50
See below for word problem.
Step-by-step explanation:
While shopping, you spend $125 before tax. You buy 3 dresses at the same price each and receive a $25 discount. How much is the price of each dress?
3x-25=125
3x=125+25
3x=150
x=50
