QuestionThe graph shown below represents the relationship between the number of cookies and the cost of the cookies that a bakery sells. What is the unit rate and what does it represent?
A 50.5 , the number of cookies B $\quad 51$, the cost per cookie C $\$ 0.5$, the cost per cookie D \$1, the number of cookies

Studdy Solution
Interpret the slope as the unit rate. The slope $\frac{1}{2}$ represents the cost per cookie.
Thus, the unit rate is:
$$\$0.5 \quad \text{per cookie}$$
This means each cookie costs \$0.5.
The correct answer is:
$$\boxed{\text{C } \$0.5, \text{ the cost per cookie}}$$
