Answer: Andy's: 2.25 Bargain's: 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, we must know what a unit price is! A unit price is the price of one item (in this context). This means it's asking how much is it per 1 foot of fence? If it's 168.75 dollars for 75 feet, we can find how much it is per one foot (or the unit price) by dividing 168.75 by 75. The answer is 2.25, meaning each foot of fence at Andy's shop is 2.25. We were given (for Bargain's shop) that y= 2.5x with y as price, x as feet. If we want to find how much it is per 1 foot, plug 1 into the equation. 2.5 times 1 is 1.5! This means a foot of fence at Bargain's is 2.5, and a foot of fence at Andy's is 2.25.

Hope this helps.

Answer:

Andys: $2.25ft  Bargin: $2.50ft

Step-by-step explanation:

to find andys you simply had to divide one y by x such as [tex]168.75/75=2.25[/tex] which gets you your $/ft ratio. for bargains, you could multiply an x by 2.5 to get y and then do as done in step 1, but that would get you back to $2.50, so the answer fro bargain is in the problem. its essentially saying, for every x, multiply by 2.5, or for every foot, multiply by $2.50, getting you your $/ft ratio
