Unit Rate & Unit Price

A unit rate is a comparison of two different quantities when they are combined together. It expresses how much of one quantity corresponds to one unit of another quantity.

To calculate the unit rate, divide the total amount by the number of units. For example, if you have $97.50 for 15 pizzas, divide 97.50 by 15 to find the cost per pizza.

The unit price is the cost for one unit of a good or service. It helps consumers compare prices and determine the best value.

Knowing unit rates helps in making informed decisions about purchases and understanding the value of services.
