Question

Devon is trying to find the unit price on a 6-pack of drinks on sale for $2.99. his sis says that at that price ,each drink would cost just over $2.00.Is she correct,and how do you Know? if she is not ,how would Devon's Sister find the correct price?

Answer 1

She is not correct. The correct price is $0. 50

Step-by-step explanation:

The unit price is found by dividing the total price by the number of drinks

Now, in our case

Total price = $2.99

and

Total number of drinks = 6

Therefore,

unit price = $2.99/6 = $0. 50 (rounded to the nearest tenth )

Hence, we see that the unit price that Devon's sister mentioned cannot be correct since the actual price is about $0.50.
