Answer 2

$0.28 per orange

Explanation:

The unit cost is the price per orange.

In order to find the unit cost, we divide the total price by the number of oranges.

`\sf \textsf{Unit cost} = \frac{\textsf{ total price }}{\textsf{ number of oranges}}`

In this case:

We have:

Total price = $ 1.96

No. of oranges = 7

Now, Substitute the given value:

`\sf \textsf{Unit cost}= (\$ 1.96)/(7orange)`

`\sf \textsf{Unit cost} = \$0.28 \textsf{ per orange}`

Therefore, the unit cost of 7 oranges for $1.96 is $0.28 per orange.
