At Chester’s Bakery, a box of 12 donuts sells for $8.50. What is the unit price of the donuts in the box, rounded to the nearest cent?

Question

$0.12 per donut
$0.71 per donut
$1.02 per donut
$1.41 per donut

Answer 1

To find the unit price of the donuts in the box, you can divide the total price of the box by the number of donuts in the box.

The total price of the box is $8.50, and there are 12 donuts in the box.

Unit price = Total price / Number of donuts

Unit price = $8.50 / 12

Let's calculate that:

Unit price = $8.50 ÷ 12 ≈ $0.7083

Rounding to the nearest cent, the unit price is approximately $0.71 per donut.

The answer is $0.71 per donut.
