Question

A store is selling five cans of tomato sauce for $5.25. What is the unit price? unit price = total price ÷ number of units per package A. $1.05 B. $10.25 C. $26.25

Answer 1

Answer: Option A

$P = \ \ 1.05$

Step-by-step explanation:

If we have 5 cans of ketchup they cost $ 5.25. Then the unit price of cans is what each can costs individually.

The unit price should then be less than $ 5.25, and that is the price for 5 cans and we want to know the price for just one can of ketchup.

Then to calculate the price of each can divide the price of the 5 cans by 5.

$P = \frac{5.25}{5}$

$P = \ \ 1.05$
