Answer 1

unit price = (total cost)/(number of items)

Let's say you pay a total of $18 for 6 items, as an example
The unit cost would be 18/6 = 3 dollars per item

i- i don't understand 😃👍🏽

Answer 7

Let's say one orange is $2
If we buy 5 oranges, then 5*2 = 10 dollars is the total cost, agreed?

Answer 8

agreed? I'm dumb bare w me.

Answer 9

So what we do is just go in reverse of that
We divide 10 over 5
10/5 = 2

If we spend $10 total and buy 5 oranges, then the unit cost is $2
In other words, the cost per orange is $2
