So "unit price" means how much does it cost for 1...

To find this...you divide the price by the number of bars...

1) 10 candy bars for 6.75 ...so 6.75
                                              ----- = ?
                                                10

And the same for 2)

Alright...think of it like this...

if it cost 6.75 for 10 candy bars...it cost 'x' for 1

to solve this...you simply divide the 6.75 by 10...this will give you the price for 1 bar of candy...6.75/10 = .675 per bar ....now if that is true then once again if you buy 10...you should get t=back to 6.75 ...so if each bar cost .675 and you buy 10..that is .675 x 10 which infact equals 6.75 ...so how much does each bar cost in option B?
