Question

what is the unit price for a piece of cheese if 1.24 pounds costs $11.25?

Answer 1

If you do the ratio between the price and the amount of cheese, you'll get the answer:

$\frac{11.25\ }{1.24\ lb} = \bf 9.07\frac{\ }{lb}$

Answer 2

we know that

The unit price is the cost per unit, and to find the unit price, divide the price by the number of units

so

$Unit\ price =\frac{11.25}{1.24} \frac{usd}{pound} \\ \\ Unit\ price=9.07\frac{usd}{pound}$

therefore

the answer is

The unit price is $9.07\frac{usd}{pound}$
