A local market is selling 2 pounds of strawberries for $6.80 and 3 pounds of blueberries for $9. What is the unit price for each type of berry

Answer 1

To find the unit price for each type of berry, divide the total price by the number of pounds.

For strawberries:
Unit price = $6.80 / 2 pounds
Unit price = $3.40 per pound

For blueberries:
Unit price = $9 / 3 pounds
Unit price = $3 per pound

Therefore, the unit price for strawberries is $3.40 per pound and the unit price for blueberries is $3 per pound.
