Answer 1

u can find the unit price by dividing the total price by total amount of items
option 1
\[unit \ price = \frac{ 6.75 }{ 10} = 0.675\]
option 2
\[unit \ price = \frac{ 7.25 }{ 10} = 0.725\]

Answer 7

unit price means the price of a single item...
here they means the price of single candy...

the firs step u need to do is to find the price of a single candy...or find the unit price of a candy under 2 options given..

to find the unit price...
let's say there is a pen at a cost of 10 $...so the unit price of the pen is 10$. then the cos of 10 pens will be (10 x 10 ) = 100 $..

now 10 pens have cost 100 $
to find the amount that one pen will cost u have to divide 100$ by 10
and u will get 10$ which is exactly the unit price of a pen..

here
in the same way... they've given the price of
10 candies under 1 option as 6.75
now if we follow the same scenario above how can u find the price of single candy ?
