Question

Ex 4) Find the unit price for 6.5 pounds of apple for $12.95.

Answer 1

Answer:

No Ms Chen is not correct and the price is $1.99 per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Ms Chen is not correct because she did the division wrong. She was supposed to divide the price by the pounds but she divided the pounds by the price. The correct way of doing this would be dividing $12.95 by 6.5 which gets you 1.99230769 but since this is money that rounds to $1.99 per pound
