Question

Answer 1

The difference in unit prices of Jalen's and Tia's juice packs is $0.15

Solution:

Given that,

Jalen bought 24 juice packs for $7.20

Unit price means price per juice pack

Unit price is found by dividing 7.20 by 24

$\text{Cost per juice pack } = \frac{7.20}{24} = 0.3$

Thus unit price of Jalen is $ 0.3

Tia bought six juice packs for $2.70

Unit price is found by dividing 2.70 by 6

$\text{Cost per juice pack } = \frac{2.70}{6} = 0.45$

Thus cost per pack of Tia is $ 0.45

Difference in the unit prices of Jalen and Tia juice pack

Difference = $ 0.45 - $ 0.3

Difference = $ 0.15

Thus the difference in unit prices of Jalen's and Tia's juice packs is $0.15
