Answer: 80 cents per organic peach
Step-by-step explanation: To find out how much Patrick paid for 5 organic peaches, we want to find the unit price for 1 peach.
Unit price means the cost per unit. In this case, the cost per peach. Since we know that it costs $4.00 for 5 peaches, to find the cost for 1 peach, we need to divide 5 into $4.00 or 5 into 4.00.
Now using long division, 5 divides into 40 eight times so we put an 8 above the second 0 and 8 x 5 is 40 and 40 - 40 is 0.
So 5 divides into 4.00 0.8 times which means that each peach costs 80 cents.
So the unit price is 80 cents per organic peach.
