A grocery store sells a bag of 8 oranges for $4.96. What is the unit cost?

Answer 1

To find the unit cost of one orange, divide the total price of the bag by the number of oranges in the bag.

Here, the price of a bag of 8 oranges is $4.96.

Unit cost = Total cost / Number of oranges Unit cost = $4.96 / 8

Now doing the calculation:

\[ \text{Unit cost} = \frac{4.96}{8} = 0.62 \]

Therefore, the unit cost of one orange is $0.62.
