Question

An 8-kilogram bag of cat food costs $7.21. What is the unit price, rounded to the nearest cent?

$
per kilogram

Answer 1

To find the unit price per kilogram of the cat food, you can divide the total cost by the number of kilograms.

Given:

- Cost of the bag = $7.21
- Weight of the bag = 8 kg

Unit price per kilogram = \( \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Weight}} = \frac{7.21}{8} \)

Calculating the unit price:

\[
\frac{7.21}{8} = 0.90125
\]

Now, rounding to the nearest cent, we get:

Unit price = $0.90

Thus, the unit price is **$0.90 per kilogram**.
