1:D
2:B
3:D
4:this was NOT C, I put c and got 75% (thanks a lot @Sue) it was B.
A. 3.50/5 =
B. 5.20/8 =
C. 2.25/3 =
To determine the lowest unit price among the given options, you need to calculate the unit price for each brand. The unit price is the cost per unit of weight or quantity.
To calculate the unit price, divide the total price by the total weight/quantity. Let's calculate the unit prices for each brand:
Brand A: 5 lb for $3.50
Unit price for Brand A = $3.50 / 5 lb = $0.70 per lb
Brand B: 8 lb for $5.20
Unit price for Brand B = $5.20 / 8 lb = $0.65 per lb
Brand C: 3 lb for $2.25
Unit price for Brand C = $2.25 / 3 lb = $0.75 per lb
Now that we have calculated the unit prices for each brand, we can see that Brand B has the lowest unit price at $0.65 per lb. Therefore, Brand B has the lowest unit price among the given options.
