To find the unit costs, you need to divide the total cost by the quantity of the item. In this case, we are given the cost of a 15-inch link of silver chain ($82.99) and gold chain ($112.59).
To find the unit cost of the silver chain, divide the total cost ($82.99) by the quantity (1 link):
$82.99 / 1 = $82.99
Therefore, the unit cost of the 15-inch link of silver chain is $82.99.
To find the unit cost of the gold chain, divide the total cost ($112.59) by the quantity (1 link):
$112.59 / 1 = $112.59
Therefore, the unit cost of the 15-inch link of gold chain is $112.59.
