Answer 1

To complete the statements correctly, we can break down the information as follows:

1. **Query 1**: The unit price for a hot dog is **$1.95**.
- This is calculated by dividing the total cost by the number of hot dogs:
\[ \text{Unit price} = \frac{5.85}{3} = 1.95 \]

2. **Query 2**: because this is the result of **dividing the total cost by the number of hot dogs**.
- This explanation clarifies how we arrived at the unit price.

3. **Query 3**: This means that 8 hot dogs would cost **$15.60**.
- This is calculated by multiplying the unit price by the number of hot dogs:
\[ \text{Cost for 8 hot dogs} = 8 \times 1.95 = 15.60 \]

Putting it all together:

The unit price for a hot dog is **$1.95**, because this is the result of **dividing the total cost by the number of hot dogs**. This means that 8 hot dogs would cost **$15.60**.
