First, you divide the price by the amount of units in the pack. This is how you find how much one unit is worth in that pack. So for the first pack you divide 1.12 by three, and then you have .37333 repeating, which is about 38 cents. Next is the second pack, where we divide 4.38 by 12 which is .365, which is about 37 cents. The last pack is 8.68 divided by 24 which is .361, or about 36 cents. This means that the 24 pack is the best buy.
In real life you should also consider which would be too much for you or not enough. For example, you might not even need 24 units of juice. You might only need 12 so you don't have too much extra. But hey, this is just a math problem ;)
Beer? at an electronic store? but srsly, 81*.07 is 5.67, total is 86.67
You can just 1) multiply the binomial by itself, or you can use 2) the square of a binomial pattern. I'll show it to you both ways.
1) Multiply the binomial by itself.
(3x - 2)^2 = (3x - 2)(3x - 2) =
Multiply every term of the first binomial by every term of the second binomial, then collect like terms. (This is often called using FOIL.)
= 9x^2 - 6x - 6x + 4
= 9x^2 - 12x + 4
2) Use the square of a binomial pattern
The square of a binomial is
(a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab - b^2
a^2 is the square of the first term.
b^2 is the square of the second term.
-2ab is the product of the two terms and 2.
You have
(3x - 2)^2,
where the first term is 3x, and the second term is -2
square the first term: 9x^2
square the last term: 4
the product of the terms and 2 is: -12x
Put it all together, and you get
9x^2 - 12x + 4
just like we got above with the other method.
Answer:
$0.26
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the unit price, divide the cost by the amount you have.
$2.86/11 = $0.26
The unit price is $0.26.
