Question

Which items have a unit price per cup under $1? Check all that apply.
bananas
cherries
grapes
pineapples

Answer 1

To determine which items have a unit price per cup under $1, we need to calculate the price per cup for each item based on the given price rates.

1. Bananas:

   • Price Rate: 2 dollars and 52 cents per 12 cups
   • Price per cup = 2.52 / 12 = 0.21 dollars (or 21 cents)

2. Cherries:

   • Price Rate: 2 dollars and 44 cents per 2 cups
   • Price per cup = 2.44 / 2 = 1.22 dollars (or 122 cents)

3. Grapes:

   • Price Rate: 3 dollars and 72 cents per 6 cups
   • Price per cup = 3.72 / 6 = 0.62 dollars (or 62 cents)

4. Pineapples:

   • Price Rate: 2 dollars and 10 cents per 3 cups
   • Price per cup = 2.10 / 3 = 0.70 dollars (or 70 cents)

Now, let's summarize the unit prices per cup:

• Bananas: 0.21 dollars (under $1)
• Cherries: 1.22 dollars (not under $1)
• Grapes: 0.62 dollars (under $1)
• Pineapples: 0.70 dollars (under $1)

The items with a unit price per cup under $1 are:

• Bananas
• Grapes
• Pineapples
