To compare, think of the ratios as a fraction. so it is 32 slices per $7.99.
You can also say $7.99 per 32 slices.
so it can be ̲7̲.̲9̲9̲ ̲ or the other way around.
32
To find the unit price, or the price of 1 item, you have to divide the price by the amount.
So 7.99 divided by 32 is <span>0.249687, but we don't have thousandths of a cent, so we round to the hundredth.
$0.25 is the unit price, or the price of 1 toast, rounded to the nearest cent.
So let's try another one, this time we have 2 different rates, and we will compare them.
So let's say we are buying cheese. Store A sells 12 blocks of cheese for $14.99, and Store B sells 20 blocks for $23.99.
So first we have to find the unit rate for each.
Store A Store B
14.99 per 12 23.99 per 20
</span> ̲1̲4̲.̲9̲9̲ ̲ ̲2̲3̲.̲9̲9̲ ̲<span>
12 20
14.99 / 12 is </span>1.24916 23.99 / 20 is <span>1.1995</span>
<span>$1.25, if rounded to the cent. $1.20, if rounded to the cent
</span>1 block is $1.25 in Store A. 1 block is $1.20 in Store B
Store B sells for cheaper.
Hope that helps.
For this, we need to find the area of the larger rectangle (The room) and subtract from that the area of the smaller, shaded rectangle (The rug).
A=LW (L=Length, W=Width, A=Area)
The larger rectangle first:
A=(15)(10)
A=150 feet squared
Now the Rug:
A=(12)(7)
A=84 feet squared
Now to find the area that is NOT covered by the rug, we subtract:
150-84
= 66 feet squared will NOT be covered by the rug.
Hope this Helps!

You question implies simple subtraction is needed:
28-8=20
