Question

Store $\mathrm{A}$ advertises a sale for $3$ loaves of bread for $\$5.94$. Explain how to use an equivalent rate to find the unit price of the bread at store $\mathrm{A}$.

Answer 1

Finding the unit price of the bread:

Given that the price of $3$ loaves of bread is$\$5.94$.

To find the unit price, we have to find the price of $1$ loaves of bread and for that we have to divide $\$5.94$ by $3$.

Now, $\frac{5.94}{3}=1.98$.

Therefore, the unit price of the bread at store $\mathrm{A}$ is $\$1.98$.
