Answer :

$8.75 because 26.25 divided by 3 equals $8.75

$8.75

To find out the unit price, take the whole and divide it by the number of units. In this case the whole cost is $26.25. There are 3 scarves in a whole. Divide $26.25 by 3 to find out the cost of the unit price. It is $8.75.

Knowing how to figure out a unit price for something is very useful. For example, if you wanted to buy some Pepsi but didn't know if the 24-pack, 12-pack or 36-pack was a better deal, you can find out the unit price to see which is cheaper. For example, if the 24-pack of Pepsi cost $5, the unit price per can would be .21. A 12-pack at$ 2.75 would be .22 per can. A 36-pack at $6.50 is .18 per can. This tells you that you'd save more money per can if you bought the 36-pack of Pepsi.
