Question

A 6-kilogram bag of rice costs $3.80. What is the unit price, rounded to the nearest cent?

Answer 1

Answer:

The unit price is 63 cent per kilogram bag of rice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A 6-kilogram bag of rice costs $3.80.

Now, to find the unit price.

So, to get the unit price we use unitary method:

If cost of 6 kilogram bag of rice = $3.80.

Then cost of 1 kilogram bag of rice = $\frac{3.80}{6}$  = $\ 0.633.$

Thus, the unit price is $0.633 per kilogram bag of rice.

Now, according to question we convert the unit price into cent by using conversion factor:

$1 = 100 cent

$0.633 = $0.633\times 100=63.3\ cent.$

So, rounded to nearest cent  = 63 cent.

Therefore, the unit price is 63 cent per kilogram bag of rice.
