A unit price is a unit rate that gives the price of one item.

• $0.28 per pencil

• $0.24 per pencil

Multiple Choice

Multiple Choice

Find the unit price: 1/2 gallon of orange juice for $3.65

Compare rates to find which is the better value.

Example: $28 for 4 large pizzas or $40 for 5 large pizzas? Find the unit rate for each and see which unit rate is smaller. Whichever has the cheaper/lower unit rate is the better deal. Let's practice!
