To determine the unit price for both fruits, we need to divide the total cost of each fruit by the quantity sold.
For oranges:
Unit price for oranges = Total cost of oranges / Quantity sold
Unit price for oranges = $6.40 / 8
Unit price for oranges = $0.80 per orange
For apples:
Unit price for apples = Total cost of apples / Quantity sold
Unit price for apples = $9 / 12
Unit price for apples = $0.75 per apple
Therefore, the unit price for oranges is $0.80 per orange and the unit price for apples is $0.75 per apple.
A fruit stand sells 8 oranges for $6.40 and 12 apples for $9. Determine the unit price for both fruits
