A fruit stand sells 8 oranges for $6.40 and 12 apples for $9. Determine the unit price for both fruits
To determine the unit price for both fruits, we need to divide the total cost of each fruit by the quantity sold.
For oranges:
Unit price for oranges = Total cost of oranges / Quantity sold
Unit price for oranges = $6.40 / 8
Unit price for oranges = $0.80 per orange
For apples:
Unit price for apples = Total cost of apples / Quantity sold
Unit price for apples = $9 / 12
Unit price for apples = $0.75 per apple
Therefore, the unit price for oranges is $0.80 per orange and the unit price for apples is $0.75 per apple.
