Determine the unit rate for 1 bag of chips if 5 bags cost $6.25; the proportional relationship is described by 5y = $6.25x.

Question

A. $1.25
B. $0.80
C. $1
D. $31.25

Answer 1

To find the unit rate for 1 bag of chips given that 5 bags cost $6.25, you can calculate the cost of 1 bag by dividing the total cost by the number of bags:

\[ \text{Cost of 1 bag} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Number of Bags}} = \frac{6.25}{5} \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ \frac{6.25}{5} = 1.25 \]

Therefore, the unit rate for 1 bag of chips is $1.25.

So the answer is A. $1.25.

Answer 2

are you sure this is correct

Answer 3

Yes, I am confident in the calculation.

To clarify further:

You have 5 bags of chips that cost a total of $6.25. To find the cost of just 1 bag, you divide the total cost by the number of bags:

\[ \text{Cost of 1 bag} = \frac{6.25}{5} \]

Calculating that:

\[ 6.25 \div 5 = 1.25 \]

So, the cost of one bag of chips is indeed $1.25.

Thus, the correct option is A. $1.25.
