1 answer

To find the unit rate of price per pound, you need to divide the total cost by the number of pounds.

Total cost: $16.00
Number of pounds: 8 pounds

Unit rate of price per pound = Total cost / Number of pounds
Unit rate of price per pound = $16.00 / 8 pounds

Simplifying the calculation:
Unit rate of price per pound = $2.00 per pound

Therefore, the unit rate of price per pound is $2.00.
