Question

At a restaurant 6 hotdogs cost $10.92 and 5 hamburgers cost $9.50. Which food has the lower unit price?

Answer 1

The food with the lowest unit price is the hot dog.

Explanation:

We can calculate the unit price of the hotdog by dividing the cost by the number of hot dogs:

`color(white)=($10.92)/6`

`= $1.82`

We can also calculate the unit price of the hamburger in the same way:

`color(white)=($9.50)/5`

`= $1.90`

Thus we can see that the hot dog is cheaper than the hamburger by `$0.08`.

Hope this helps!
