There are 12 bags in a box of popcorn that cost $8.25. Find the unit rate for ONE bag of popcorn. Round to the hundredths place.

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

$0.69 for each bag

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you have 12 bags for $8.25, that means you need to divide the price by the number of bags to get the price of each:

$\frac{8.25}{12} = 0.6875$

You then need to round to the nearest hundredths. Since the number after the hundredths place is a 7, which is greater than or equal to 5, you need to add 1 to the hundredths place making the final answer $0.69
