Question

Amy pays $3.48 for a bag of 12 oranges. Find the unit price in dollars per orange. If necessary, round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

In order to find the unit price in dollars per orange, we just need to divide the total price by the total number of oranges.

So we have:

$\text{unit price}=\frac{3.48}{12}=0.29$

So the unit price is $0.29 per orange.
