Questions: Lesson 8: Pra Problem 4 Priya bought these items at the grocery store. Find each unit price. a. 12 eggs for 3. How much is the cost per egg?

Solution Steps

To find the unit price, we need to divide the total cost by the number of units. In this case, we will divide the total cost of the eggs by the number of eggs to find the cost per egg.

To find the cost per egg, we use the formula for unit price:

\[ \text{Cost per egg} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Number of eggs}} = \frac{3}{12} \]

Now, we simplify the fraction:

\[ \frac{3}{12} = \frac{1}{4} \]

The simplified fraction can also be expressed as a decimal:

\[ \frac{1}{4} = 0.25 \]
