You buy 3 pounds of organic apples for $7.50. The graph shows the price for regular apples. What is the unit rate for each type of apple?
We are given the price for 1 pound of regular apples on the graph as $1.25. To find the unit rate, we divide the cost by the amount:
Regular apples: $1.25 per pound
To find the unit rate for the organic apples, we divide the total cost by the amount which is 3 pounds:
Organic apples: $7.50 ÷ 3 pounds = $2.50 per pound
Therefore, the unit rate for regular apples is $1.25 per pound and the unit rate for organic apples is $2.50 per pound.
To find the unit rate for each type of apple, we need to determine the cost per pound for each type.
For the organic apples, you bought 3 pounds for $7.50. We can divide the total cost by the number of pounds to calculate the cost per pound:
