​Which food has a higher unit price?

1 answer

To find out which food has a higher unit price, we'll calculate the price per box for both the chicken nuggets and the chicken fingers.

Chicken Nuggets:

  • Price for 7 boxes = $25.90
  • Price per box = Total Price / Number of Boxes \[ \text{Price per box of chicken nuggets} = \frac{25.90}{7} \approx 3.70 \]

Chicken Fingers:

  • Price for 3 boxes = $11.07
  • Price per box = Total Price / Number of Boxes \[ \text{Price per box of chicken fingers} = \frac{11.07}{3} \approx 3.69 \]

Now we compare the two unit prices:

  • Chicken Nuggets: $3.70 per box
  • Chicken Fingers: $3.69 per box

Conclusion:

The chicken nuggets have a higher unit price of approximately $3.70 compared to the chicken fingers' unit price of approximately $3.69.
