A company orders 25 boxed lunches from a deli for $208.75. If each boxed lunch costs the same amount, what is the unit cost of each boxed lunch?

Answer 1

To find the unit cost of each boxed lunch, we'll divide the total cost by the number of boxed lunches ordered.

The total cost is $208.75 and the number of boxed lunches is 25.

Using the formula:

\[ \text{Unit Cost} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Number of Boxed Lunches}} \]

we can substitute the values:

\[ \text{Unit Cost} = \frac{208.75}{25} \]

Now, performing the division:

\[ \text{Unit Cost} = 8.35 \]

Therefore, the unit cost of each boxed lunch is $8.35.
