Question

A store sells a 1 1/4 pound package of turkey for $9. What is the unit price of the turkey in the package

Answer 1

Package weight: 1 1/4 pound

Price: $ 9

For finding the unit price in the package, we divide the price between the weight:

Unit price = Package price / Package weight

Package weight = 1 1/4 or 1.25 pounds

Unit price = 9 / 1.25

Unit price = 7.2

The correct answer is that each pound of turkey in the package costs $ 7.20
