Question

Using the following prices, calculate the unit price to determine how much it would cost for 5 containers of yogurt and 3 containers of applesauce.
$4.29 for 6 containers of yogurt
$3.39 for 8 containers of applesauce
a.
$4.39
b.
$4.85
c.
$6.41
d.
$7.68

Answer 1

Find each unit price, multiply, then add.

Yogurt: $4.29 ÷ 6 = $0.715 each → 5 × $0.715 = $3.575
Applesauce: $3.39 ÷ 8 = $0.42375 each → 3 × $0.42375 = $1.27125

Total = $3.575 + $1.27125 = $4.84625 ≈ $4.85

Answer: b. $4.85
