what is the unit price for a piece of cheese if 1.24 pounds costs $11.25?
If you do the ratio between the price and the amount of cheese, you'll get the answer:
\(\frac{11.25\$}{1.24\ lb} = \bf 9.07\frac{\$}{lb}\)
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 \(9.07\frac{usd}{pound}\)
