Answer:
$0.75
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that
Number of bags of popcorn bought = 4
Total money spent = $3.00
To find:
Unit rate per bag of popcorn = ?
i.e. price of one bag of popcorn is to be find out.
Solution:
We can use ratio here to find the rate of one bag of popcorn.
4 bags bought at $3
4 bags : $3
Let us divide both the sides with 4.
[tex]\frac{4}4[/tex] bags : $ [tex]\frac{3}4[/tex]
OR
1 bag bought at $ 0.75
We can alternatively use unitary method.
4 bags are bought at $ 3
1 bag is bought at $ [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
1 bag is bought at $0.75.
So, unit rate per bag of popcorn is $0.75.
