Determine the unit rate for 1 bag of chips if 5 bags cost $6.25; the

Question

proportional relationship is described by 5y = $6.25x. (1 point)

Answer 1

To determine the unit rate for 1 bag of chips, we can start by calculating the cost of one bag based on the information given.

We know that 5 bags of chips cost $6.25. To find the cost of one bag, we can divide the total cost by the number of bags:

\[ \text{Cost per bag} = \frac{\text{Total Cost}}{\text{Number of Bags}} = \frac{6.25}{5} \]

Calculating that:

\[ \text{Cost per bag} = \frac{6.25}{5} = 1.25 \]

So, the unit rate for 1 bag of chips is $1.25.
